9. Ongoing formative assessment of students, which is informal, often daily assessment of how students are progressing under current instructional practices.
I think Conley was conveying the importance of daily assessment through this principle. Teachers can assess students informally on a daily basis in a variety of ways. They may do simple things such as observing students as they work, having a short conversation with them, reading something the student has written from that day. It is important to perform daily assessments not only to see the instructional strategies and approaches that the students respond well to but also as a teacher you can evaluate yourself. Did the students truly understand the content that was taught, do some topics need to be revisited? Ineffective approaches can be thrown out and effective approaches and strategies that students respond well to can continue to be used and developed into stronger methods.
