Research shows that the involvement in and ownership of their work increases students' motivation to learn. Additionally, descriptive feedback (formative assessment) is related to highest achievement gains.
Student Feedback includes: formative assessment strategies and tools, student portfolios, and teacher/peer review and feedback.

Examples, Digital Tools, Ideas
Have students use clickers or free online polling tools, such as PollEverywhere, Socrative, TodaysMeet, Edmodo Polls, InfuseLearning or Google Forms/Surveys to vote on their level of understanding after your lessons.
Scales are great ways for teacher and students to monitor their progress toward learning goals.
For example, consider having students vote on their progress using the following scale:
1. With help, I can understand the simpler details and harder information.
2. I understand the simpler details, but not the more challenging information.
3. I understand all the simpler details and more challenging information.
I understand all the information, and I can generate inferences or insights that were not explicitly taught.
