Formative Assessment? “Assessment that provides feedback to the teacher for the purpose of improving instruction. Also called “assessment FOR learning”
Why Formative Assessment? “Today, the formative assessment is widely considered to be one of the more effective instructional strategies used by teachers, and there is a growing body of research to evaluate and assess these strategies.”
Formative Assessment - Benefits Although all formative assessment practices have the potential to increase student learning, assessment for learning in the classroom offers a number of distinct benefits: • The timeliness of results enables teachers to adjust instruction quickly, while learning is in progress. • The students who are assessed are the ones who benefit from the adjustments. • The students can use the results to adjust and improve their own learning.
