Formative Assessment: An Enabler of Learning (w/highlights)
In this article, Margaret Heritage explains how formative assessment is “not a test, nor an instrument, but rather an approach to teaching and learning that uses feedback as its centerpiece in a supportive classroom context.”
This version of the article with highlights was created for use in a training context. The portions of the text most related to lesson planning were highlighted and numbered for discussion purposes. The original article without highlights can be found here.
