On a sticky note write your definition for formative assessment.
According to the Experts
• Formative Assessment is… all those activities undertaken by teachers, and by their students in assessing themselves, which provide information to be used as feedback to modify the teaching and learning activities in which they are engaged. Such assessment becomes ‘formative assessment’ when the evidence is actually used to adapt the teaching work to meet the needs.
Black and William, 1998; summarized in 2001
According to the Experts
Formative assessment practice operates as a feedback loop in which both teachers and students can play active, distinctive, yet complementary roles in enabling learning by consistently working to build and consolidate student understanding and skills during the course of a lesson.
Margaret Heritage, Spring 2011. Formative assessment: An enabler of learning. Better: Evidence-based Education.
