Formative and Summative Assessments
Formative
The goal of formative assessment is to monitor student learning to provide ongoing feedback that can be used by instructors to improve their teaching and by students to improve their learning.
Summative
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.
Examples of the Assessments
Formative: Asking students to submit one or two sentences identifying the main point of the lesson.
Summative: Assigning a final project or midterm exam.
Why to Consider Formative Assessment over Summative?
Formative assessment hep us improve the students achievements. With teachers being in a big rush to move on to a new lesson, taking the time to use an formative assessment is greater than child a failing a lesson. One thing that I do in my classroom is set goals for each of my students, and as I see making progress toward that goal I write down each new skill I notice.
