Although formal assessment has become a mainstay in teaching and isn't going away any time soon, Tovani suggests in her book that teachers utilize more informal assessment to better understand each of their students. One main way that Tovani does this is through "Conversation Calendars as Formative Assessment" (pg. 29). Above I have included an example done by one of her students. How could this help you better understand your students? Is there value in conversing with your students about topics that are unrelated to 'school'?
