InFormative Assessment™ from CTB/McGraw-Hill
CTB's concept for using assessment to bring responsive change in teaching
and learning is called InFormative Assessment-a model designed by CTB to
give educators the resources required to target instruction and deliver
interventions to ensure students are on the right track to success.
InFormative Assessment is delivered by Acuity, and other CTB solutions,
to provide educators with information they can use on an ongoing basis to
quickly identify individual student strengths and weaknesses and adjust the
approach and pace of their instruction.
Technology-Supported InFormative Assessment
Implementing assessments for learning can often mean a time-intensive process
of collecting observations, data, and other classroom-based measurements to
support targeted instruction.
Technology empowers teachers and classrooms by providing a systemized,
uniform way to present, analyze, and communicate student results.
Comprehensive technology-based InFormative Assessment from CTB improves
student learning by moving beyond traditional assessments to help educators
make important decisions that impact school- and district-wide student achievement.
