What is it?
A diagnostic assessment is a form of pre-assessment where teachers can evaluate students’ strengths, weaknesses, knowledge and skills before their instruction.
diagnostic assessment is a tool for teachers to better understand what students already know about a topic when submitted before the start of a course.
Summative Assessment
Summative assessments are used to evaluate student learning, skill acquisition, and academic achievement at the conclusion of a defined instructional period—typically at the end of a project, unit, course, semester, program, or school year.
The goal of summative assessment is to evaluate student learning at the end of an instructional unit by comparing it against some standard or benchmark.
Summative assessments are often high stakes, which means that they have a high point value. Examples of summative assessments include:
Midterm Exams
Final Exams
A Final project
Unit group presentations
Senior Recital
Summative assessments can be used at the end of classes, units or topics. They are helpful at this time because they can show the teacher exactly how well the students know the topic. It also holds students accountable for displaying proficiency in overall content
Summative assessments are best used as the final piece of the puzzle when students are learning a subject. After having learned a general topic in a unit, chapter, section or class it helps students to solidify their knowledge and assess their understanding. Summative assessments are also useful because they can come in many different forms. From portfolios and group presentations, to essays and exams, or even journals and interviews. Summative assessments are an important part of any teaching curriculum.

Formative Assessment
Formative assessment
refers to the ongoing process students and teachers engage in when they:
Focus on learning goals.
Take stock of where current work is in relation to the goal.
Take action to move closer to the goal.
The best formative assessment involves both students and teachers in a recursive process.It starts with the teacher, who models the process for the students.
More specifically, formative assessments: help students identify their strengths and weaknesses and target areas that need work.
When we assess student learning for formative purposes, there may be no final mark on a student’s paper or summative grade in our grade book. Rather, formative assessment can serve as practice for our students, much like a meaningful homework assignment does. And the key to effective formative assessment is the descriptive feedback that we as teacher provide to our students.
Formative assessments allow us to adapt instruction based on results, making modifications and improvements that will produce immediate benefits for our students’ learning.
Formative assessments give our students evidence of their current progress to actively manage and adjust their own learning.
Formative assessments give us the ability to provide constant feedback to our students. This allows our students to be part of the learning environment and to develop self-assessment strategies that will help with the understanding of their own thought process.
We should use them frequently, and while or after kids learn a new idea, concept, or process.When you are on your way to the Big End Project (or summative assessment) and students have just learned a piece or a step toward the end, check to see if they've got it.formative assessment is not a test but a process—a planned process involving a number of different activities.
Student Checklist
Give your students a checklist and have them self-assess. Collect the checklists with each, or every other, new idea during a unit of study. Make sure they write a sentence or two explaining how they know they've got it, or why they think they are still struggling.

The Three-Minute Paper
This is more involved than the exit slip and often times, I'd give the kids more than three minutes. I don't use the word "essay" or they get too nervous. I might say, "Take out a piece of paper, and tell me what you have learned so far about
__
." Often they will basically write an essay (something they usually labor over in drafts and on their own!) I assess these the same way as the exit slip, by making the three stacks.
One-Sentence Summary
Ask students to write a summary sentence that answers the "who, what where, when, why, how" questions about the topic.
Misconception Check
Provide students with common or predictable misconceptions about a specific principle, process, or concept. Ask them whether they agree or disagree and explain why. Also, to save time, you can present a misconception check in the form of multiple-choice or true/false.
Watch, Look, Listen
Simply observing the actions, behaviors, and words of students can provide a wealth of valuable data and serve as a formative assessment. You can take notes as they conference with one another, pair and share, or engage in collaborative learning groups (lab projects, literature circles, etc.).
Summaries and Reflections: Students stop and reflect, make sense of what they have heard or read, derive personal meaning from their learning experiences, and/or increase their metacognitive skills. These require that students use content-specific language.
Collaborative Activities Students have the opportunity to move and/or communicate with others as they develop and demonstrate their understanding of concepts.

A performance-based assessment aims to measure a students' ability to apply the skills and knowledge learned from a unit. Generally, the task asks students to use higher-order thinking skills to create a product or complete a process.
Performance assessments are useful for assessing students’ success in understanding complex learning standards, assessing their ability to apply concepts they learned to solve real-world problems, and assessing skills.
These kinds of assessments allow students for a personalized connection with their topics, where they have the ability to be creative, and demonstrate their mastery of learning.

Performance Assessment: What is it and why is it important
An on-demand performance assessment on which students are not much or any time to rehearse before performing or responding, and few opportunities to improve their initial performance.
Students can have days, weeks, or months to prepare. The work may be long and comprise multiple parts, involving multiple responses of different types to a multitude of prompts. Within the task might be written-responses, presentations, papers, student self-reflections, or other performances.
