Watching and listening for what doesn't happen, and isn't seen or heard

Assessment colleagues,

Thanks to Meagen Farrell who has re-blogged this important formative assessment piece by Grant Wiggens

http://grantwiggins.wordpress.com/2013/08/04/better-seeing-what-we-dont-see-as-we-teach/

Although the context is K-12 education, there is a lot here for any teacher who is interested in observing closely what is happening in her/his classroom (a key veriable in teacher quality).

I wonder if the Grant Wiggens blog article will prompt you to write here about the formative assessment methods or techniques you have used, and if/how the strategies have been helpful.
