Formative Assessment
for Busy Teachers

Assessment provides critical information about where students are before, during, and after instruction relative to learning outcomes. Used effectively, assessment data informs necessary changes to your curriculum and instruction to improve learning. Formative assessment is a type of assessment that is used to monitor student learning and progress during instruction. It is often informal and ongoing, and it is used to provide feedback to both the teacher and the student on what is being learned, what needs to be reviewed, and what needs to be re-taught.

Formative assessments can be used in a variety of ways in the classroom, such as class discussions; giving students regular, low-stakes quizzes to check for understanding and adjust instruction accordingly; or to using "exit tickets" where students are asked to respond to a question or prompt before leaving class in order to assess their understanding of the material covered that day.
