Gradual Release of Responsibility After viewing the videos
Improving Practice with Sarah Brown Wessling and Embedded Formative
Assessments, and after reading Releasing Responsibility by Fisher
and Frey, discuss the following:Part 1: Sarah Brown Wessling remarks; “It is not about ways of
delivering content as much as it is about ways of getting students
to become thinkers; ways for students to be more autonomous.”What evidence did you observe in Ms Wessling’s video that her
students were becoming thinkers? How is this an example of the
teacher assessing FOR learning?Part 2 : In Dylan William’s video on embedded formative
assessments, he mentions five strategies for teachers to meet
students’ learning needs more effectively.Describe what you observed from Ms. Wessling’s video that
represents each of these strategies. Were there any that you did
not observe? What evidence was there of Ms. Wessling’s students
examining their own thinking? What evidence did you find to suggest
she designed her instruction to meet instructional learning
objectives in several areas of development (Think Bloom’s)? What
did you see from her video that you’d like to try (remember best
practices are transferrable across grade and age levels)?Video Links:
