How can I use formative assessment to differentiate instruction in my classroom?

Formative assessment helps you understand students' needs and adjust your teaching accordingly. What specific strategies are you considering?

I'm thinking about using quizzes and exit tickets. How effective are they?

Quizzes and exit tickets are great! They provide immediate feedback and help identify areas where students struggle. Would you like tips on creating them?

Yes, please! What should I focus on when designing these assessments?

Focus on clear learning objectives, varied question types, and ensure they are low-stakes to encourage honest responses. Need examples?

That would be helpful! Can you give me some examples of effective quiz questions?

Sure! For a math class, you could use a mix of multiple-choice and open-ended questions that target different skills. Would you like more subject-specific examples?
