Formative
Formative assessments could be FOR and OF learning.
Summative
Summative assessments are "assessment OF learning"
Summative Assessment (Xueqing Fu)
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: a midterm exam. a final project.
Summative assessment examples:
End-of-term or midterm exams.
Cumulative work over an extended period such as a final project or creative portfolio.
End-of-unit or chapter tests.
Standardised tests that demonstrate school accountability are used for pupil admissions; SATs, GCSEs and A-Levels.
Diagnostic (Alyssa Wolverton)
This type of assessment is used to "diagnose" students. In order to create an engaging and tailored unit, teachers may use a
pre-test
to evaluate prior knowledge. A diagnostic assessment may also shine light on what needs to be focused on for the class.
This could be a pen and paper test, a journal entry, an interview or reflection with the student or class, and even educational graphs.
In early childhood these could be drawings the kids make using a thematic prompt such as their Halloween costume or things they saw during a field trip or experiment. Then we interview the kids about their illustration and write the entry for them.
This is a great way to asses if children have grasped a concept. Often, this is where we see bigger developmental milestones such as students who remember and enjoy the process of listening to a prompt, responding, and sharing and even mock writing their thoughts. Other students are glad to color their favorite video game character and it shows they are not ready to be assessed on literacy or comprehension skills.
The diagnostic pre-assessment is a FORMATIVE assessment
This would be an assessment FOR learning because it enables the teacher to create targeted lessons, increasing student sucess

Assessment of as and for Learning (Xueqing Fu)
Assessment for learning involves teachers using evidence about students' knowledge, understanding, and skills to inform their teaching. Sometimes referred to as 'formative assessment', it usually occurs throughout the teaching and learning process to clarify student learning and understanding.
Classroom assessment is generally divided into three types: assessment for learning, assessment of learning and assessment as learning.
Assessment as learning occurs when students are their own assessors. Students monitor their own learning, ask questions and use a range of strategies to decide what they know and can do, and how to use assessment for new learning.
What are examples of assessment as learning?
Frequent progress monitoring is an example of assessments for learning, where a student's academic performance is regularly assessed between benchmarks to determine if the current instruction and intervention is positively impacting student achievement or if adjustments need to be implemented.
Assessment is a key component of learning because it helps students learn. When students are able to see how they are doing in a class, they are able to determine whether or not they understand course material. Assessment can also help motivate students. ... Just as assessment helps students, assessment helps teachers.
Assessment is an integral part of instruction, as it determines whether or not the goals of education are being met. Assessment affects decisions about grades, placement, advancement, instructional needs, curriculum, and, in some cases, funding.
