The most quoted definition of AfL is the one developed by the Assessment Reform Group (ARG) in the UK:
‘Assessment for learning is any assessment for which the first priority in its design and practice is to serve the purpose of promoting pupils’ learning. It thus differs from assessment designed primarily to serve the purposes of accountability, or of ranking, or of certifying competence (summative assessment).

An assessment activity can help learning if it provides information to be used as feedback by teachers, and by their pupils in assessing themselves and each other, to modify the teaching and learning activities in which they are engaged. Such assessment becomes ‘formative assessment’ when the evidence is actually used to adapt the teaching work to meet learning needs.’ (Black et al, 2004, P. 2-3).

Formative assessment is ongoing and must have a feedback loop to move learners forward and shape your teaching accordingly.
