Assessment Presentation
Assessment Name: Formative
Type of Assessment: Formative
Formative Assessment: Refers to a wide variety

of methods that teachers use to conduct inprocess evaluations of student comprehension,

learning needs, and academic progress during a
lesson, unit or course. Formative Assessment
help teachers identify concepts that students are
struggling to understand, skills they are having
difficult acquiring.

The general goal of formative assessment is to

collect detailed information that can be used to

improve instruction and student learning while its
happening.
What makes an assessment formative its not
the design of the test technique or self-evaluation,
per se, but the way it is used- is to inform inprocess teaching and learning modifications.

have the option to not have their child be an
observation object, and may not their child be

gestures) about any child to anyone other than the
person who gave you permission to
