To help beginning teachers in pre-service settings develop Formative Assessment (FA) practices, this study employed a teacher learning progressions lens (Duckor & Holmberg, 2017, 2019), and relaxed assumptions regarding presumed content-specific features of high-leverage FA moves. This project refined construct maps and progress guides by mapping FA moves for beginning K-12 teachers who support English language learners.
