What is formative assessment, and what does it look like in the science classroom? Summary. Participants will actively engage in formative assessments and reflect on how formative assessment strategies can be used in their specific content area and with their students. Learning Goals.
The goal of formative assessment is to monitor student learning to provide ongoing feedback that can be used by instructors to improve their teaching and by students to improve their learning. More specifically, formative assessments: help students identify their strengths and weaknesses and target areas that need work.
