Feb Resource of the Month: Battling the Boss & Level Up (Embedded Assessment)

1/17/2022

Picture
Keeping our embedded assessment strategies engaging and effective is an ongoing process. This month let's look at a great check-in strategy, Battling the Boss.  It works really well in a personalized classroom where students are working at their own pace.  Students love it and it provides evidence of learning so both you and your student know if they are ready to move on.
 

Overview: Students reflect and decide when they are ready to "Battle the Boss" - they then engage in a verbal, written &/or digital task that provides evidence of understanding around the learning focus.  The teacher and student then decide the best next steps in learning.  It is a great way to check for understanding and check in with students moving at their own pace.

Don't Forget!! 

1. Modify the strategy to fit your situation-grade level, content area, student need, etc. Make it work for YOUR classroom! 
2. Make the Battling the Boss challenge questions reflect the depth of thinking that is appropriate for your learning goal.
