Assessment-Informed Instruction

Introduction

Assessment-informed instruction refers to the activities undertaken by teachers—and sometimes students, head teachers, and coaches—that provide timely information to track progress and modify subsequent teaching and learning activities. When embedded throughout teaching, assessment serves as both a metric and a mechanism for quality, accountability, and equity in the classroom.

Assessment-informed instruction in the classroom should fit within a broader system of assessments that are used to collect data about student learning, track students’ progress, and inform systems-level decisions.

"Where feasible, technology is a good fit solution for capturing formative assessment data, as new assessments can easily be added to an app-based tracker...Algorithms can remove much of the analysis work for teachers while also generating actionable feedback."
