Embedded formative assessment



Embedded formative assessment looks at our increasingly complex world of the 21st century and demands that we must concentrate on increasing educational achievement by increasing the quality of the teachers in our schools. Author Dylan Wiliam makes a case for the important role of formative assessment in increasing teacher quality and student learning. While there are many possible ways to develop the practice of serving teachers, attention to minute-by-minute and day-to-day formative assessment is likely to have the biggest impact on student outcomes. Wiliam's view of formative assessment differs from the popular view in that he regards formative assessment as a process rather than a tool.
