Description
Formative assessments and feedback are best blended with instruction. They are an integral part of the scaffolding required within every PA. Formative activities could involve something formal—a quiz with feedback and not just a score—or they could be observations or conversations that allow you to understand the student’s learning. They could involve self-review by the student or peer review. In all cases, formative assessments should provide feedback on the student's performance in relation to the competencies and the performance assessment's rubric.
