Formative assessments help teachers identify concepts that students are struggling to understand, skills they are having difficulty acquiring, or learning standards they have not yet achieved so that adjustments can be made to lessons, instructional techniques, and academic support.
Formative assessment is any form of assessment that monitors student comprehension and needs while learning is taking place. It can be either formal or informal in nature. Since this form of assessment is part of the learning process, it is typically not used for grades. Instead it is viewed as practice and a check for understanding. Results of formative assessment can be used for differentiation, remediation, and student self-reflection.
