Summary:What students do in a classroom, their knowledge of why they are doing it and how to do it have a great impact on their performance. Understanding formative assessment and its appropriate application in class will lead to a whole school culture change focused on learning. This study explains the impact of formative walk-throughs in advancing formative assessment and improving students’ performance. This explanatory case study seeks to establish the causal relationship between formative walk-throughs and application of formative assessment which would in turn lead to better students’ achievement in a private school in Dubai, UAE. The results indicated the impact of formative walk-throughs on better application of formative assessment and the role of formative assessment in improving students’ performance and creating motivated self-regulated learners.
