As I am still working my way through my research, I have begun to feel like I am flailing around in the deep end of a pool rather than gliding across the water. I have read enough about the subject to feel quite confused about how all I am reading fits together. So, to help realign myself, I want to write a short list of what I know to be true about formative assessment. This list is in no way comprehensive.
1. Formative assessment is not a designation; it is a response.
2. Both the teacher and student have an active role in the formative assessment process.
3. For effective formative assessment to take place, there must first be a clear learning target.
4. Formative assessment is ongoing.
5.
Is it sad that I can only come up with four? See, I need floaties.
