Formative assessment involves using classroom-based assessments to collect feedback that can be used to improve teaching and learning. It is an essential part of teaching and learning.
NCTM Position
Through formative assessment,
1. students develop a clear understanding of learning targets and receive feedback that helps them to improve.
2. By applying formative strategies, teachers receive evidence of students' reasoning and misconceptions to use in adjusting instruction.
3. By receiving formative feedback, students learn how to assess themselves and how to improve their own learning.

Formative Assessment VS Summative Assessment
Assessments FOR Learning
Process of seeking and interpreting evidence for use by learners and their teachers to decide where the learners are in their learning, where they need to go and how best to get there.
The Teacher's classroom assessment role must play out in five parts:
1. Become competent masters themselves of each of the standards their students are to master
2. Understand how those standards transform into the curriculum that forms the scaffolding students will climb on their journey up to each standard
3. Transform classroom level achievement targets into student-friendly versions
4. Transform the classroom targets into high-quality classroom assessments capable of accurately reflecting student achievement
5. Use those assessments over time in collaboration with their students to help motivate them to keep learning
