They are applicable to teachers at all levels of education, from pre-primary to university level. By adopting the evidence-based insights and best practices presented in this book, teachers can enhance their formative assessment practices and improve their students' learning outcomes. The book explains effective formative assessment strategies such as Socratic questioning, Muddiest Point, Think-Pair-Share, Tag Feedback, Dipsticks, Polls, Pass the Question, and Self-Assessment in a simple and concise manner to facilitate users' understanding.
