15. Questions? Pennsylvania Adult Education Resources

16. Follow-up How are you going to integrate formative assessment into your practice? In one month, we will send you a survey link and ask you to respond to these questions: • What formative assessment strategies did you use? • What evidence of student growth/learning did you observe? • What changes will you make to your process when implementing these assessment strategies in the future?
