Formative assessment in CBC: close it while the lesson is still warm
Formative assessment gives teachers information while there is still time to respond during a lesson. Use questions, observation and short activities to see how learners approach a competency, then adjust the explanation or the next task.
Practical teaching guide, updated September 2026. Use the examples to discuss lesson preparation, classroom observations and follow-up with your teaching team.
The ordinary kit
Observation during a practical. A short quiz after a new idea. An exit ticket — one takeaway, one question still open. Peer review against a rubric. A self-check. A learning journal. None of that requires a brand. It requires a place to put the evidence so Friday is not a reconstruction.
Examples that still work
A Grade 5 science practical: watch the method, not only the write-up. A Grade 3 fractions quiz: find who needs the next group. Grade 7 exit tickets on a geography lesson: plan tomorrow from what is still grey. Grade 6 paired essay review: the rubric is the teacher’s, not a marketplace template.
Where Kurasa sits
Workspace connects observations and assessment marks with the lesson and its CBC indicators. Use these notes when preparing the next lesson, and explore the twelve-minute formative assessment guide for a worked classroom routine.

In the lesson
Take the reading before the class stands up.
The product page is the job. The twelve-minute essay is the discipline. The 60dB academics piece is the study.
