Formative assessment

Formative assessment - a type of assessment that is designed to measure student progress against skills or a set of materials (such as story with reading comprehension questions) which students use to complete assessment tasks. Teachers can use the results to adjust instruction with the goal of mastery. See Mastery Assessment.
