Differentiating between Assessment and Evaluation is critical to effective teaching; the former is often called formative and is a teaching approach, the latter summative and it is used for measurement and reporting. Formative assessment is not marked or graded work where the grades don't count, nor is it test preparation nor mock examinations.
In essence, Formative Assessment is Teaching and Learning.
