Formative
Definition: Formative Assessments, like all assessments, gather data from students. It provides feedback to the teacher on how to adjust lesson plans and activities to enhance student achievement beneficially. These assessments are given during units, and lessons so there are low stakes for students and have little grade value to them.
Examples: exit-ticket: students are given a short quiz or one or two questions about the lesson they just learned in order to express and prove their mastery of the content.
Example: Daily-Bellringer: students start class off completing a bellringer of information learned this unit or past units to inform the teacher of where learning gaps are.
Interim
Definition: Interim assessments are common assessments that are administered to students throughout the school year to monitor growth and achievement according to specific learning goals and academic standards.
Example: District Benchmarks: a system used to evaluate the academic competency of a selected group of students. These academic evaluations help institutions and relevant educational agencies see if the evaluated students are on par with current grade standards.
Example: STAAR testing: STAAR is the state's testing program and is based on state curriculum standards in core subjects including reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies. STAAR tests are designed to measure what students are learning in each grade and whether or not they are ready for the next grade.
Summative
Definition: Unlike formative assessments, summative assessments are high-value grades over a large portion of a unit or whole lesson. These are used to evaluate the retention of students at the end of a unit and give feedback to the teacher on overall how the unit went.
Example: End-of-Unit Test: Student display knowledge of unit by taking an end of unit test that can be short answers, or multiple choice. Test include tested material from all of unit & is a high value grade.
Example: End-of-Unit Project: Students display their knowledge over a unit on a project done either in or out of class that is for a high-value grade.
Diagnostic
Definition: Diagnostic assessments are intended to help teachers identify what students know and can do in different domains to support their students' learning. These kinds of assessments may help teachers determine what students understand in order to build on the students' strengths and address their specific needs.
Example: Pre-Assessment Test: Students are given a test that is not for a grade before they begin learning material from the Unit. This give the teacher an idea of that they already know.
Example: KWL chart: Before beginning unit, teacher creates KWL chart with class to observe and learn what students have been previously taught about the subject, what they still have questions about or are unsure of, and what they want to learn.
Performance
Definition: An approach to educational assessment that requires students to directly demonstrate what they know and are able to do through open-ended tasks.
Example: Oral Presentation: Students must present and demonstrate what they have learned through the lesson/class period in order to gain mastery credit.
Example: Socratic Circle: Students demonstrate knowledge of topic by speaking with peers in a whole group discussion. Students earn points by what they give to the discussion.
