• Formative evaluation is generally any evaluation that takes place
before or during a project’s implementation with the aim of
improving the project’s design and performance.
• It is an ongoing classroom process that keeps students and educators
informed of students’ progress toward program learning objectives.
• The main purpose of formative evaluation is to improve instruction
and student learning.
• Formative evaluation does require time and money and this may be a
barrier to undertaking it, but it should be viewed as a valuable
investment that improves the likelihood of achieving a successful
outcome through better program design.
