Great Intro Explainer about Formative Assessment

This article, though short, provides a lot of useful information about formative assessment. It would best be used as someone's introduction to formative assessment, and serves as a guide to understanding the most important details about this type of assessment. It is a quick, comprehendible, and comprehensive article. The author, Keeley, has at least one other article on NSTA about formative assessments, which could be of interest to those who read this article and want to learn more about the topic.
