The First Day

Review  your official roster.

Formative Assessment

Plan to use a few brief, low-stakes assessment strategies to see what your students do and don't yet understand, and to engage them in reflecting on their own learning. To get started, read a concise introduction to formative assessment or review examples of a few popular  Classroom Assessment Techniques (CATs). Then plan how you'll share what you learned through the CATs with your students.

 

Early Student Feedback

Get student feedback early in the semester to understand your students' needs and adjust your approach to teaching if needed. The Self Reflection and Anonymous Feedback Surveys in Canvas video from the FDC YouTube Channel explains how to create different types of surveys in CSUF's learning management system Canvas.
