Abstract | Too many deaf and hard of hearing students often do not show age-appropriate academic achievement, and schools have copious data on how deaf and hard of hearing students--especially those of color or those with additional disabilities--are not performing. One way that teachers can improve individual performance is through the use of formative assessment. Assessment--or evaluation or testing--should be incorporated throughout the learning of each lesson. "Formative assessment" simply means assessing students at intervals as they tackle specific goals rather than waiting to administer an assessment when the lesson plan proclaims that a goal should have been reached. In this article, Julie Tibbitt discusses how formative assessment can be a building block for success and parity and can be used with students of every age and cognitive level. Tibbitt concludes that through ongoing evaluation and guidance, formative assessment allows teachers to reach and educate every single student. It is up to teachers to not only provide fair and thorough assessment to ensure appropriate education, but also to take a step further and use formative assessment to elevate the teaching and learning experience, especially for students of color and those who have disabilities.
