Types of Assessments
Summative (Joanna)
"The goal of summative assessment is to evaluate student learning at the end of an instructional unit by comparing it against some standard benchmark"
These tests are meant to provive data for you, school leaders and district leaders
The primary difference between formative and summative assessments is the time period. Summative is given upon the ending of a unit while formative is ongoing
Another difference is that summative is often graded material, while formative can range from peer review, teacher assessment or general observation

Formative
(Ricki)
Formative assessment refers to ways educators identify understanding/ability, or a lack thereof, and assess how to remedy where understanding or ability is lacking.
Examples of Formative Assessments
- In-class discussions
- Weekly quizzes
- Homework assignments
- Surveys
- Journals
- Self evaluations
- Mini white boards
- Exit tickets
A diverse range formative assessments help
educators gain a better grasp on their students'
understanding by providing a number of data
points for educators to assess.
The various forms of formative assessment can be arranged into 3 broad categories:
- On-the-fly assessments
- Planned-for interaction
- Curriculum embedded assessment
Formative assessments should be kept simple. There is generally no need for grading as the idea is to get a basic grasp on the progress of the student or class.
-
In formative assessments, students should be active participants in the assessment process.
