"The On-Your-Feet Guide provides a great reminder of the 5 strategies for formative assessment.  It is a great way to increase the impact on mathematics education in the classroom.  It’s a must-have to keep those strategies fresh in your mind.  Too often we forget the key ideas from a book- this guide serves as a quick reminder of the key points."
—Kevin Dykema, 8^th Grade Math Teacher, Mattawan, MI

Formative assessment is frequently thought of as something "extra" when really it should be integral to what teachers and students are actually doing within a mathematics lesson. Skip Fennell, Beth Kobett, and Jon Wray show that when used regularly, the Formative 5 assessment techniques represent viable, classroom-validated, in-the-moment practices for monitoring your students’ mathematics learning and identifying your instructional next steps.

This On-Your-Feet Guide provides:

• A brief look at each of five every-day formative assessment techniques: Interviews, Observations, Show Me, Hinge Questions, and Exit Tasks
• Critical questions and tools for implementing each technique.
• Special considerations and ways to assess your effectiveness in order to plan your next mathematics lesson.
• Brief videos with comments from authors and teachers along with classroom footage showing the Formative Five in action.
• Using the Formative 5 daily in your planning and teaching will truly influence student learning.

On-Your-Feet Guides (OYFGs) provide you with the ultimate "cheat sheet" to implement effective change in your classroom while in the moment of teaching. Designed for accessibility, and providing step-by-step guidance, the OYFGs are written by experts who take research-based practices and make them doable for the busy teacher.  Each On-Your-Feet Guide is laminated, 8.5"x11" tri-fold (6 pages), and 3-hole punched.
