Why Use AI in Formative Assessment?

Supercharge your formative assessment practices with the speed and consistency of AI.

Instant Feedback Loops

Provide students with immediate feedback on formative tasks, allowing them to identify and address issues quickly.

Identify Learning Gaps Quickly

AI analysis highlights common errors and misconceptions across the class or for individuals, guiding targeted instruction.

Automate Routine Checks

Let AI handle initial checks for foundational skills (grammar, spelling, structure) on formative tasks, saving teacher time.

Track Progress Between Tasks

Monitor individual and class progress on specific skills across multiple formative assessments over time.

Practical AI Applications for Formative Assessment

See how AI tools support effective formative assessment strategies in the classroom.

Quick Writing Checks

Use AI for rapid checks on short writing tasks (e.g., exit tickets, paragraph responses) to gauge immediate understanding.

  • Instant snapshot of comprehension
  • Check foundational skills quickly
  • Low-stakes practice opportunities
  • Inform next day's lesson planning

Draft Feedback Before Submission

Allow students to submit drafts for AI feedback against key criteria before submitting their final summative work.

  • Encourage student self-correction
  • Improve quality of final submissions
  • Focus teacher feedback on higher-level aspects
  • Reinforce understanding of assessment criteria

Pre-Assessment & Diagnostic Tasks

Employ AI to analyse diagnostic writing tasks at the start of a unit to identify pre-existing knowledge and skill levels.

  • Gauge starting points accurately
  • Inform differentiation strategies
  • Identify potential learning barriers early
  • Tailor unit planning to student needs

Tracking Skill Development Over Time

Utilise AI analytics across multiple formative tasks to monitor how individual students and cohorts progress on specific skills.

  • Visualise learning trajectories
  • Measure impact of teaching strategies
  • Identify skills needing reinforcement
  • Provide data for reporting and intervention

The Impact of Timely Formative Feedback

Research highlights the crucial role of rapid feedback loops in accelerating student learning.
