The Formative Assessment: Improving Learning for Every Child Spotlight Report highlights 14 impactful and scalable education innovations that promote the systematic use of formative assessments to inform teaching. 

Formative assessment is one of the approaches that can help teachers and students teach and learn more effectively by allowing them to keep track of how each individual student's learning is progressing. Effective formative assessment shares learning expectations and learning targets, while also creating a continuous feedback loop to help track students’ understanding and development. Formative assessments can use guided self-assessment and peer assessment to improve learning in a way that takes into account the importance of student agency and motivation in learning. 

These solutions are bold, accessible, and impactful, changing the fundamental ways we think about assessment. We created this report with the intention that it would serve as an invitation for dialogue. Our hope is that we might collectively imagine a better future and begin thinking about what it will take to get there.
