Abstract

A significant role in educational assessment is played by measuring behavioural changes based on clearly specified educational objectives and meaningfully interpreting the results. One of the most significant strategies for evaluating a student's learning performance in the classroom is formative assessment. Formative assessment systems concurrently improve the science and art of teaching and learning. Teachers can help the students grow as students by actively hopeful them to self-assess their skills, test their knowledge retention, giving clear commands and providing the necessary feedback to put them on track. This paper aims to demonstrate the various Formative Assessment Tools for Effective Classroom. The conclusions derived from the teaching fields are then merged to produce an incorporated summing with clear implications for effective didactic academic performance. The assessment of students by the teachers has a powerful direct impact on their learning performance, which may be positive and thus be worthy of very attractive and fruitful learning.
