A quick formative assessment before, during, or after instruction can inform your next steps in planning for your students. Implementing formative assessments allows you to assess where your students are at and plan reteach or enrichment activities as well as determine what level of support is needed moving forward. When you formatively assess students, providing a low-stakes assessment such as an exit slip, think-pair-share, or 3-2-1 summary will engage students and enable them to demonstrate their learning.
