Summative
Definition: Used to determine the learning at the end of a unit. These are often high stakes and graded heavier.
Examples
Final Presentations: These can be a creative way for students to make a project over the learnings in a unit, then present to the class.
-
Formative
Definition: Formative Assessments is how we adjust our instruction through the student's progress. They are very low-stake, and do not necessarily affect grades.
Examples
KWL Chart: Writing 1-2 things that they know, want to learn, or have learned. This can be a pre-assessment to just gauge what students have already learned and you can also see where student interest is.
Exit Tickets: These can be 2-3 questions pertaining to different portions of a lesson. Through the work students are showing, we can see if there are any misconceptions.
Performance
Definition: An assessment that does not require a student to answer questions, but rather put their learnings into action.
Examples
Story Map: A student can create an illustration that allows them to plan out their presentation and then explain it to the class.
Formal Observations: As teachers, we have our PAs where we are measured on a scale and then given feedback. This feedback is used to implement into your classroom, and that ongoing learning is shown, not just explained.
Diagnostic
Definition: Diagnostic assessments are made to find student's strengths and weaknesses. It can also find some of the misunderstandings from previous learnings, and can show where a teacher may need to focus in the lessons. This is done at the beginning of the unit to see where students are.
Examples
Running Records: This will allow you to track where a student began and find some of the areas of weakness in their reading, to allow you to focus in on that.
Pre-Assessments: Give students a series of questions that cover the standards. Their success on it is not taken as a grade, but it should be documented when they are reassessed at the end of a unit.
Benchmark
Definition: Benchmark assessments are made to see where students are, almost as a checkpoint. If they are successful in this, then they will be successful in moving into the next grade(s).
Examples
STAAR: This test is made to measure all of the learning that happened in that grade-level. This will often measure if a student will move to the next grade.
STAR 360 Quarterly exams: This is used in Grand Prairie and the students are tested like the STAAR test, but through each quarter. This shows where students are struggling, and can be targeted through small group.
