Formal and Informal Assessment Techniques

Assessment For Today’s Classrooms, Module 1

Formal assessments assume a single set of expectations for all students and come with prescribed criteria for scoring and interpretation. Formal assessments are information, such as grades, FCAT 2.0, SAT or ACT Scores, that become a record of the student’s performance or progress. Informal assessments help teachers make better instructional decisions and guide instruction by shaping individual student tasks, monitoring progress, or placing students in groups based n capabilities.

Informal assessments requires a clear understanding of the level of abilities the student brings with them and are not intended to provide a comparison to a broader group of students.
