The correct answer is: Student performance and understanding

During formative assessment, instruction is primarily informed by student performance and understanding. This type of assessment occurs throughout the learning process and is designed to provide ongoing feedback that educators can use to adjust their teaching strategies and better meet students' needs. By analyzing how well students grasp the material, teachers can identify areas where students are struggling and provide targeted instruction to help them improve. Formative assessment focuses on real-time learning and development, allowing educators to recognize success and gaps in knowledge as they happen. The insights gained from this assessment model help in refining lesson plans, activities, and support for each student, ensuring that instruction aligns with their current understanding.
