Keepy-Uppy with your formative assessments!

 Active learning as a whole: 

As Bandit would say, "active learning is the bee's knees!" (typical Aussie dad moment), Not only is active learning fun, but it also helps kids (and adults) stay engaged and interested in what they're learning!

Just like playing a game of "keepy-uppy," active learning keeps your brain bouncing and your curiosity piqued. Plus, it's a great way to practice teamwork and communication, just like Bluey and her friends do when they play together. The show altogether has many keen examples of what it means to be actively learning! So next time you're feeling bored with traditional learning methods, channel your inner Bluey and get active!

Formative Assessments:

Formative assessments are like checkpoints in a learning journey that help both learners and teachers gauge their progress and adjust their approach if needed. These assessments provide valuable feedback to learners about what they're doing well and where they need to improve, helping them stay on track toward their learning goals. Additionally, formative assessments give teachers insight into how well their teaching methods are working, so they can make adjustments and provide more targeted support where necessary. As Bluey's teacher Calypso would say, "a little check-in can make a big difference!" By incorporating formative assessments within a lesson, learners can feel more confident and motivated, while teachers can ensure they're meeting the needs of each student.

For some more learning entertainment, Here is an episode that features a classroom setting where formative assessment and active learning is used :)
