NOVICE TEACHERS WILL RECEIVE TRAINING IN FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS TO GUIDE INSTRUCTION
Formative Assessment
Formative assessment occurs when teachers feed information back to students in ways that enable the student to learn better, or when students can engage in a self- reflective process.
Formative assessment can range from a smile or a raised eyebrow to detailed feedback about how and what a child is learning. It's extremely effective in raising pupil's eventual achievement in tests and exams as well as capturing their interest and commitment.
