Based on “The Heart of AFL”, in what ways have I experienced AFL practices (as a teacher or a student) and in what ways have I experienced non-AFL practices (as a teacher or a student)?

Conferencing frequently with students helps the students be more aware of skills that need to be mastered.
Bobby uses a dodge ball to randomly have students answer questions for review.
Teresa reviews withe her Sped students using the whiteboard and study guides.
All of the teachers I work with in Math use whiteboards, bellwork, and practice sheets to check for understanding and retention.
I have witnessed AFL in our school in the use of white boards to assess on the spot what a child knows and to reteach on the spot, using study guides to guide the test, exit cards, small quizzes.
Quizzes or end of lesson questions are reviewed, checked/corrected by students and then used for future tests as study guides for end of unit tests.
Our group has experienced Assessment for Learning by having students write a fact or vocabulary that was covered during a class. An example of a non-AFI practice is a final exam or post test at the end of a semester. You can see what the student has learned, but there is no more chance for improvement.
