Formative assessment is one of the most powerful levers available to improve student outcomes, but only when it is:
- Embedded in daily classroom practice
- Supported by sustained, high-quality professional learning
- Reinforced through clear leadership and system alignment
- Enabled by technology that strengthens, not replaces, teacher judgement
