There are many different types of formative assessment techniques, they include oral questioning, informal observation, quizzes, homework and classwork. All formative assessment is used to give the teacher information on where a child stands and how they can improve. Portfolios are also classified as formative assessment because they contain a child's work from then to now.
Homework is one method of formative assessment. "Homework provides formative information about how learning is progressing, it allows errors to be diagnosed and corrected, and it combines practice, reinforcement, and assessment." Homework doesn't put students on the spot in front of the rest of the class. Homework is an indirect way to judge how much progress a student is making as they learn in the classroom.
