Formative
1) planned,
2) an ongoing process
ongoing frequent measurements of a students’ understanding; a way for teachers and parents to gauge how students are doing as they’re learning what’s being taught.
A great tool to make quick adjustment/modifications to lesson plans or teaching strategies to meet the needs of all students.

Performance Assessment
Examples of performance assessments include oral presentations, answering open-ended questions specific to the course material, projects, portfolios and experiments.
-
Performance assessments are also known as comprehensive, alternative or authentic assessments. They are used to test the student's understanding of the course material. They allow the teacher to see the student display knowledge in a manner that demonstrates understanding/application rather than memorization.
Summative
-
Summative assessments often have high stakes and are treated by the students as the priority over formative assessments.
Feedback from summative assessments can be used formatively by both students and faculty to guide their efforts and activities in subsequent courses. Summative Assessment Video
In summative assessments, from how they're delivered, to how they're scored, and what knowledge and skills they're meant to test.
Assessment as learning: students monitor and assess their own learning (e.g., peer assessment, self assessment)
Assessment for learning: aka formative assessment, this is assessment to gauge students' understanding of material both to measure progress and to inform a teacher's teaching, traditionally it would not be graded (e.g., homework, writing task)
Assessment of learning: aka summative assessment, this is meant to measure student performance against standards and/or against each other (e.g., unit test, end of semester/year exam)
This concept relates to the three major purposes of assessments (video)
