REVIEW
The Physics Education Research Group undertook this project to study how continuous formative assessment could be implemented in the high school physics class. This site offers materials for teachers to use as they use this strategy in their own classrooms. It includes papers that explain the pedagogic philosophy behind the approach and how to implement it in the classroom, an items library (questions and problems for instructional use)and a page that describes how to use the items effectively. The Items Library can be searched by level, keyword, phrase or any combination of the three. Many of the items include teacher aids for using them effectively in the classroom. Also included are references and a discussion forum.
