| Summary: | Formative assessment is a set of practices that enable teachers and students to examine how learning is progressing, so that teaching and learning activities can be adjusted as needed. If students notice a discrepancy between where they are in understanding a lesson and where they need to be, formative assessment encourages them to take corrective action through self-regulated learning. Self-regulated learning is a proactive process in which students select an appropriate learning strategy, such as getting feedback from the teacher or from peers, reorganizing information, or trying to make new connections to prior learning. Having prioritized these classroom strategies, three Arizona school districts (Chandler Unified School District in Phoenix, Flagstaff Unified School District, and Sunnyside Unified School District in Tucson) surveyed teachers and students in grades 3-12 in spring 2019 to take stock. The purpose of the surveys was to better understand the associations between teachers' formative assessment practices and training and students' use of self-regulated learning strategies and to inform teacher development efforts moving forward. Because fewer than half of the districts' teachers and students responded to the surveys, the results may not be fully representative. However, the findings are still relevant to policy because they reflect the perceptions of more than 1,200 teachers and more than 24,000 students on an important learning topic.
