Design Five Diagnostic Formative Assessment Strategies

Description

Create five varied, topic-specific formative assessments that reveal learning gaps and guide immediate instructional adjustment. This mini-course is built around the Formative Assessment Strategy Designer, a guided AI assistant that asks focused questions one at a time before creating five distinct formative assessment strategies with mechanisms, practical use, diagnostic value, time estimates, and data-driven next steps.

You will learn how to prepare subject, topic, grade or course level, learning objectives, classroom context, and available time or resources. The course shows you how to respond to the assistant’s guided workflow, keep the conversation focused, and shape the output around your real educational context.

By the end, you will be able to use ChatGPT to produce five distinct formative assessment strategies with mechanisms, practical use, diagnostic value, time estimates, and data-driven next steps, then evaluate it for topic specificity, diversity of assessment modes, clear diagnostic evidence, realistic timing, and actionable instructional response. You will leave with a repeatable process that can be adapted to future tasks while keeping professional judgment in the loop.
