formative assessment strategies

schneij on 01 Nov 16

Formative assessment is an essential part of teaching because it helps guide instruction. Checking for understanding of important concepts helps the teacher decide to move on or to continue instruction to ensure that crucial information is not lacking. Because it does inform instruction, formative assessment should be incorporated on a regular, if not daily, basis.
