Chapter 6: Formative Assessment Work-relevant skills (e.g., making presentations or leading teams). 3. Providing Real-Time Feedback: To maintain and increase student engagement and to support effective learning, providing timely and helpful responses and suggestions to each learner. 4. Increasing Accessibility: To include neurodiverse learners and to engage learners’ best communication capabilities as they share what they know and can do. 5. Adapting to Learner Ability and Knowledge: To make assessments more precise and efficient. 6. Embedded Assessment in the Learning Process: To emphasize an assessment’s role in improving teaching and learning (this report does not focus on assessment for accountability purposes). 7. Assess for Ongoing Learning: To reveal progress over time and not just predetermined milestones. AI models and AI-enabled systems may have potential to strengthen formative assessments. In one example, a question type that invites students to draw a graph or create a model can be analyzed with AI algorithms, and similar student models might be grouped for the teacher to interpret. Enhanced formative assessment may enable teachers to better respond to students’ understanding of a concept like “rate of change” in a complex, real-world situation. AI can also give learners feedback on complex skills, such as learning American Sign Language or speaking a foreign language and in other practice situations where no person is available to provide immediate feedback. 62 | P a g e
