Embedding Formative Assessment: Practical Techniques for K-12 Classrooms
We checked this card's citation and the finding we state against the source's own page or record in October 2026.
What it found
A practical guide for teachers built around five strategies: make learning intentions and success criteria clear, engineer discussions and activities that bring out evidence of learning, give feedback that moves learners forward, activate students as learning resources for each other, and activate students as owners of their own learning.
What kind of study it is
- Design
- Review
- Weight
- Adds context: a review or a weaker design, which doesn't move a card's rating on its own.
- Who
- School-age children (K–12)
- Limits
- A book of classroom techniques, not a study. We cite it for its description of the five strategies.
