Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Formative assessment is used by teachers to monitor student learning and provide ongoing feedback that can be used by instructors to improve their teaching and by students to improve their learning. Mr. Blue's method of observing students as they work and giving exit tickets for immediate practice reflects this approach, as it is aimed at assessing students' understanding during the learning process rather than at its conclusion.
