Please provide the key points from the presentation or workshop.

The heart of the instructional process is a clear understanding of what students should know and be able to do when the instruction is complete. The essential quality of formative assessment is that it must take place when there is enough time left to fix the learning. Research shows AFL is as effective as individual tutoring-students gain in 6-7 months what usually takes a year, all students benefit but lowest achievers benefit the most. Provide students with Manageable Learning Targets, The Criteria for Success, Models of student responses at various levels of quality beginning with the highest level. Make students full partners in their learning. The teacher should stop and gather evidence of student understanding at Decision Points in the lesson. Provide students with Descriptive (specific) Feedback.

How do you see this material/strategy being integrated into your classroom instruction? Several strategies were given to quickly check classwide understanding of the lesson before moving on to next steps in the lesson so I see incorporating these assessments into lesson planning will make them most effective.

What questions do you still have or barriers do you see relative to the implementation of this strategy? The biggest barrier is breaking myself out of my regular routine and incorporating something new.
