This rubric outlines a set of capabilities to do with the evidence-based practice of formative assessment. It can help teachers and their teams implement formative assessment by demonstrating a shared understanding of what it looks like in practice.

Kerri Proctor, Head of English at Walford Anglican School for Girls, uses different formative assessment methods to track student progress.

Teacher vignettes are short stories from practitioners about how they use an evidence-based practice in their classroom. The reflection questions at the end are designed to encourage your thinking about how you could adapt aspects of the practice into your own setting.

Exit slips are an easy way to gather formative assessment data after a lesson or sequence of learning.
