Student assessment outcomes may indicate that teachers need to modify or even scrap their instructional plans in order to revisit or reteach concepts. There are many different types of assessments, from diagnostic assessments to summative assessments to authentic assessments. However, formative assessments are a common method teachers use for monitoring student progress daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Formative assessments provide teachers with real-time indicators of progress (or lack thereof) to make data-informed decisions when it comes to individualizing and personalizing instruction. These assessments can be <a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/active-learning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">active learning strategies<\/a>\u2014thumbs up or thumbs down, polls, quizzes, and the ever-popular \u201cexit tickets.\u201d But formative assessments are not just for teachers! They can also empower students using formative assessment to track progress themselves. Based on the frequency of formative assessments, students have more intel to drive their own learning journeys; they can seek out supplemental resources or practice materials depending on whether they are looking for more challenges or further support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-monitor-student-progress-during-a-lesson\"><strong>How to monitor student progress during a lesson<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Teachers are ever observant and vigilant in monitoring student progress during a lesson. They can make observations about a student&#8217;s level and type of participation. They may use strategic questioning to gain evidence of student thinking and when tracking student progress. Many use active learning strategies such as think-pair-share to encourage <a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/collaborative-learning-collaborate-board\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">collaborative<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/collaborative-learning-collaborate-board\/\"> learning<\/a> and allow for peer-to-peer learning and feedback. Through using formative assessment to track progress and continuous analysis, teachers also can provide actionable feedback to students on an ongoing basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the hallmarks of <a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nearpod<\/a> is that the comprehensive platform provides educators with real-time formative assessment data to monitor and modify instruction throughout the day. Allowing them to make \u201cin the moment\u201d instructional decisions to support student needs.

Teachers employ multiple techniques and strategies depending on the format, content, and cadence of their lesson plans. The key is to pepper formative assessments throughout instruction so that students are actively participating and you are receiving feedback about individuals and the whole group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearpod offers a variety of features that can help teachers use formative assessments when monitoring student progress throughout lessons. Consider how you might use Polls during an anticipatory activity to gauge prior knowledge of a new concept. Then, weave in an activity learning strategy like Collaborate Board throughout a lesson for quick checks of understanding. As an exit ticket, create a short multiple-choice Quiz or ask an Open-Ended Question to evaluate whether student learning objectives were achieved (and by whom!).

Embed formative assessments into lessons or stand-alone activities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Formative assessments can be bite-sized as well as more comprehensive. The trick is to immerse yourself in the many formative assessment strategies (<a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/active-learning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">see these active learning best practices<\/a> to start) so that they become natural touchpoints for you to depend on throughout your daily instruction.

Or, you might design a learning experience around a single activity. For instance, you could use <a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/draw-it-timer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Draw It<\/a> to kick off a K-W-L chart or a Collaborate Board to capture small group work on a particular concept or problem.

Teachers can use examples of student work to highlight where common missteps can occur. They also can share examples to showcase exemplary work or to applaud innovative thinking or self-expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students can submit their work using the variety of interactive activities found in Nearpod. Tools like Draw It provide students a choice in how they demonstrate their learning based on their ability or preference, through drawing, writing, typing, or images. Teachers can share student work on the devices to encourage them to demonstrate their skills while developing mastery. Collaborate Board encourages peer-to-peer learning as well as peer-to-peer feedback. This feature is used as a digital discussion board where students share responses using text or images while commenting on their peers\u2019 posts. Both tools provide evidence of student thinking that the teacher can monitor and share with other students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-4 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ShareResultsNearpodSession.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"395\" src=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ShareResultsNearpodSession.gif\" alt=\"Sharing students' Draw It responses\" class=\"wp-image-7840\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Collaborate-Board-Halloween-theme-activity.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Collaborate-Board-Halloween-theme-activity-1024x654.png\" alt=\"Collaborate Board holiday activity\" class=\"wp-image-24111\" width=\"380\" height=\"242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Collaborate-Board-Halloween-theme-activity-1024x654.png 1024w, https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Collaborate-Board-Halloween-theme-activity-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Collaborate-Board-Halloween-theme-activity-768x491.png 768w, https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Collaborate-Board-Halloween-theme-activity.png 1240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-monitor-class-performance-to-check-understanding\"><strong>5.

Therefore, teachers are masterful at weaving checks for understanding throughout even an hour of instruction. They may incorporate subtle <a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/personalizing-learning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">personalized learning strategies<\/a> to gauge understanding while also giving students voice and choice about what to pursue so they can take ownership in furthering their learning, whether that be asking for more support or seeking out a new challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearpod\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.zendesk.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/4416963117972-Live-lesson-Teacher-Dashboard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Teacher Dashboard<\/a> provides a turnkey way for educators to check whether or not students have started an activity or lesson and how they are progressing.

Additionally, integrating tailored <a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/standardized-test-prep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">standardized test prep<\/a> into these strategies empowers educators to effectively address and reinforce key concepts necessary for student success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, you can duplicate and modify any existing Nearpod lesson. You may choose to add more interactive activities on the fly to boost your formative assessment strategies within a particular lesson. During Live lessons, you can also launch the Whiteboard for a more collaborative and visual discussion. Also, you could use the Live Annotation feature to highlight, draw, or type on content slides in real time to encourage more interactivity and model for students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/whiteboard-example.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"289\" src=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/whiteboard-example.gif\" alt=\"Whiteboard feature on Nearpod for teachers to model and provide interactive feedback\" class=\"wp-image-13892\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Use lesson data to differentiate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Teachers know they have a diverse classroom when it comes to varying personalities, ages and stages of development, and ranges of abilities. The first day of school is filled with anticipation as teachers meet their learners often for the very first time. With such a group of individuals in mind, teachers nowadays avoid \u201cteaching to the middle\u201d regarding skills or being a \u201csage on the stage\u201d preaching to the crowd. Instead, they try to personalize and individualize learning plans, so much of their lesson preparation is thinking of ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/using-nearpod-support-differentiated-instruction\/\">differentiate instruction<\/a> based on anticipated needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The real-time data collection that Nearpod provides means that teachers can differentiate instruction, targeting support and challenges accordingly. Many teachers plan for such differentiation, yet the data means that they can employ such strategies as needed in the moment, preemptively avoiding frustration or disengagement. Nearpod empowers teachers to recognize and address differentiation and thereby provide a more tailored and targeted approach to instruction. Nearpod supports needs-based decision making in classrooms and schools and aligns with intervention approaches such as <a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/rti-response-to-intervention\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">response to intervention (RTI)<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/mtss-multi-tiered-systems-of-support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/New-Teacher-Dashboard-Gif-1.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/New-Teacher-Dashboard-Gif-1.gif\" alt=\"Drag and Drop activity student and teacher view on Nearpod to monitor student progress\" class=\"wp-image-19021\" width=\"571\" height=\"321\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-3 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/using-nearpod-support-differentiated-instruction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn how to differentiate instruction<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-start-using-nearpod-for-monitoring-student-progress\"><strong>Start using Nearpod for monitoring student progress<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Periodically reassessing goals is essential for both teachers and students, as <a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/january-classroom-activities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">goal setting<\/a> can evolve or expand over time. Teachers\u2019 and students\u2019 goals can shift or stretch at any time, but it is best to take this moment to reflect on what the data says in order to make informed decisions for the last half of the year. <a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/3-formative-assessment-examples\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Formative assessment examples<\/a> can be a teacher\u2019s best friend when it comes to encouraging student participation, connections, confidence building, and student progress monitoring.
