The Texas Formative Assessment Resource (TFAR) is an online platform that enables educators to create, administer, analyze, and share formative assessments. Data from formative assessments are used to inform teaching decisions and improve instructional support. TFAR is an optional tool available at no cost to districts and open-enrollment charter schools and is not tied to accountability.
TFAR is meant to supplement and support existing district resources and formative assessment practices. Quizzes built using this tool should be combined with a broader set of classroom formative practices that are part of a coherent instructional framework.
