The document discusses the differences between formative and summative assessment, and argues that formative assessment can significantly increase both student achievement and motivation. Specifically, it notes that formative assessment, which is used by teachers to adjust instruction and by students to adjust their learning, has been shown in research to increase achievement by 0.4 to 0.7 standard deviations. This equates to moving students from the 50th to the 65th or 75th percentile. The document then provides examples of formative assessment tools and ways for teachers to get student input to guide instruction.

- 8. Formative Assessment Research on formative assessment has shown that when teachers practice good formative assessment and students participate in it, BOTH achievement and motivation increase. This achievement increase can be as much as .4 to .7 standard deviations. That’s like moving from the 50 th percentile to the 65 th or 75 th percentile. These effect sizes are larger than most of those found for educational interventions.
