Formative Assessment
Formative assessment is the teacher's ability to see what a student understands and comprehends, and the direction they need move to further the understanding of the learning objectives. By looking at the data and addressing the knowledge gained, the teacher can then address the specific area of concern with specific students.
By pairing formative assessments and individualized extension activities, the learning of the gifted student is deepened. This allows for the gifted students, and others, to have assessments modified to their individual ability and learning targets.
