Types of Assessment
Authentic
Authentic assessment often asks students to apply relevant and appropriate knowledge to real life problems or situations. Authentic assessment is usually used with complex real world problems.
Purposes: students can focus on "realistic" and "real life" problems rather than made up scenarios. It also requires students to think outside of the box to really apply the knowledge that they have learned in order to apply it to real life situations.

An example of an authentic assessment would be a student debate. Students would have to use knowledge that they have learned in the classroom and apply it to the topic that they are debating in addition to using real life experiences, and doing their own research in order to prove their argument.
Summative Assessment
Summative assessments are done at the end of the unit/chapter/instruction. Summative assessment aims to measure effective learning.
Examples of summative assessment can include quizzes or tests at the end of a unit or even a project, whether it be individual or a group project. Really anything that can test a students' knowledge of all the material they have learned over a certain period of time. Portfolios could also be used in this type of assessment.
Summative are formative assessments and aim to measure performance and give feedback to the student.
Standardized
Some types of standardized tests can include the SBAC which is used in elementary and middle schools or the SAT which is used in high schools.
Standardized tests are, as their name suggests, standardized. This type of assessment usually presents itself in a form of a test and are usually school mandates. The environment, time, and usually even the questions are the same for every student.
Tests like the SBAC and SAT/ACT are summative assessments. They are used to measure how much a student has learned throughout the year. Although, I could argue that the SBAC can also be used as a formative assessment because CCSD school teachers use these scores to evaluate what students need to spend more time on and they can also be indicators of failing a grade if students perform very poorly on these tests.
Passive
Passive learning can be seen in many different ways. Passive learning happens when students are simply being given information but are not being asked to do anything with it in that moment.
Some examples of passive learning include: watching a PowerPoint, reading, or listening to a lecture.
I would consider this a formative assessment if students are given a test based on what they read, or took notes on in order to know what we need to spend extra time on, but I would not use this method as a way to assess students at the end of a chapter or lecture. It is not a very engaging practice and many students would be at a disadvantage.
Formative
Formative assessment happens throughout the duration of the instruction time/unit/chapter. Formative assessment is used "for" learning; teachers and students can make adjustments to their teaching strategies, change the pace of a lecture, or go back and review if students are not grasping material.
An easy and fun way to implement formative assessments are using "Exit Tickets"in the classroom. At the end of the class period or day, students have to write down what the main idea of that day's lecture was. This way, the teacher can assess whether or not students are grasping the material being taught.
