National Trends in Formative Assessment Support

The Region 12 Comprehensive Center conducted a national scan of formative assessment supports provided by state education agencies. The report presents common themes in formative assessment support, a series of supports by content and grade area as well as by modality of professional learning, and illustrative examples. It also examines collaborative efforts to support formative assessment, as well as unique approaches from individual SEAs. The approaches, tools, and resources identified can guide states focused on enhancing formative assessment supports to measure and improve student learning.
