Abstract	While many educators are highly focused on state tests, it is important to consider that over the course of a year,.teachers can build in many opportunities to assess how students are learning and then use this information to make.beneficial changes in instruction. This diagnostic use of assessment to provide feedback to teachers and students over.the course of instruction is called formative assessment. It stands in contrast to summative assessment, which generally.takes place after a period of instruction and requires making a judgment about the learning that has occurred (e.g., by.grading or scoring a test or paper). This article addresses the benefits of formative assessment and provides examples.and resources to support its implementation.Purpose and Benefits of Formative Assessment
