Formative assessment resources

Formative assessment resources demonstrate how formative assessment can be designed, implemented and used in classrooms, using the Australian Curriculum content to gather and interpret evidence of student learning and inform next steps in teaching.


The formative assessment resources support teachers to design formative assessment. They seek to simplify formative assessment decisions with a design framework that connects curriculum to assessment. This design framework along with a design tool, guides, samples and professional learning help teachers to create targeted formative assessments that provide the specific learning evidence necessary for identifying and responding to students’ learning needs.
