James Popham on Formative Assessment’s Moment in the Sun

“Teachable moments are really quite special, and they don’t come along that often,” says assessment guru James Popham in this Education Week article. “A teacher who wastes a teachable moment, therefore, commits a pedagogical sin of omission.” Popham believes formative assessments are having an “advocatable moment” that educators should seize.

California Jerry Brown just gave his State of the State address. Here’s an excerpt:
