Answer 1

Formative Assessment is the most powerful type of assessment for improving student understanding and performance. This is because it enables learners to change his/her behavior and understandings right away. Formative Assessment also enables the teacher to "turn on a dime" and rethink instructional strategies, activities, and content based on student understanding and performance.
