A Note from Cher

This is a place we can have conversations when it is impossible to meet in person for our Tuesday COP meetings. For instance, next Tuesday, I have an all-day ODE meeting, so I propose we all complete Module 1, Introduction to Formative Assessment Practices, on our own, by that date. By the weekend, I will post a prompt or question on the blog related to this Module. Then, I hope that during the week folowing Oct. 30, you all will check the blog and respond to comments you find there. As you would tell your students, be thoughtful, ask questions, relate classroom experiences related to the topic, etc. You can find the Modules at the Battelle site described on pp. 22-23 in your FAMS Handbook. Our blog is at
Thank you! Cher
