Assessment Form Types

TeachersFlow can generate 12 types of formative assessment. Each serves a different purpose — choosing the right type for the situation matters more than generating a lot.

Written Feedback

Direct, personalized text written to the student about their progress, strengths, and areas for improvement. The most common form. Best when you want something you can share directly with the student or parent.

Learning Activity

A ready-to-use task or exercise for the student to complete — not feedback, but a concrete activity they do. Good for differentiated practice, remediation, or extension work. The AI generates the activity based on your topic and goals.

Observation

Evidence-based notes about what you observed — student behaviour, participation, performance patterns during class. Useful for tracking students who are hard to assess through written work alone.

Bullet Point Summary

The same content as written feedback but formatted as a concise bullet list of strengths and areas to work on. Faster to read, easier to scan. Works well for progress reports or when you need to assess many students quickly.

Goal Setting

Structured prompts designed to help the student set their own learning targets. Useful for older students or contexts where self-directed learning is part of the curriculum.

Rubric

A grading rubric with criteria and performance levels. Generates a structured evaluation framework you can use consistently across multiple students for the same task.

Quiz

Knowledge-based questions with answers. Good for checking understanding at the end of a topic. The AI generates questions based on your topic and can align them to your teaching goals.

Skills Checklist

A checklist of specific skills or competencies tied to a unit or topic. Each item is framed as something the student can or cannot do yet. Useful for practical subjects, language learning, or competency-based assessment.

Exit Ticket

A short, focused check — typically 2–4 questions — designed to be completed in the last few minutes of a lesson. Helps you understand what stuck and what didn't before the next session.

Self-Assessment

Structured prompts that guide students to reflect on their own learning: what they understood, what challenged them, what they'd do differently. Works well when students are used to reflection as a regular classroom practice.

Reflection Questions

Open-ended questions for deeper thinking about the learning process. Less structured than self-assessment — more exploratory. Better for essay-style reflection or portfolio work.

Discussion Prompt

Open-ended questions designed to generate classroom discussion rather than individual written responses. Useful for formative assessment of speaking skills or to gauge class-wide understanding before a new topic.
