What is the "Formative assessment" instructional strategy?
With "Formative Assessment", the teacher regularly assesses student performance related to expectations. The key is to assess throughout instruction, either in the form of a formal test or informal observation of student performance during practice, as a means of planning for future instruction. This ensures that instruction is delivered at a level that is appropriate for facilitating success.
