Welcome to the Formative Assessment for California Teachers (FACT) system, a reflective assessment and support process designed to help you develop as teacher. In the FACT system reflection is aimed at action by using the information gathered with a support provider through the formative assessment process, you will identify areas of strength and areas of study or focus. The purpose of formative assessment is to improve teaching as measured by each standard of the California Standards of the Teaching Profession (CSTP) and in relation to the state adopted academic content standards and performance levels for students. Formative assessment is an ongoing learning process that follows the cycle: plan, teach, reflect and apply. FACT is designed to assist in meeting the learning needs of students while growing as a professional and feeling greater confidence as a teacher.
