Lesson Revision With Formative Assessment

The purpose of this resource from Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST) is to help teachers revise existing lesson plans so that they incorporate the formative assessment process. This resource conceptualizes lesson planning with formative assessment as four complementary steps:
1. Determine learning objectives,
2. Articulate instructional steps,
3. Integrate assessment, and
4. Plan to adjust instruction.
As you read through this resource, definitions and examples of the formative assessment terms used throughout. We hope you will have the opportunity to discuss these steps with peers and make connections to the instructional practices you already use.
