Hello Class, Both formative and summative assessments should be considered when teachers are planning lessons. With formative assessment, teachers are able to gain a better understanding of their students and adjust their lesson plans based upon the results from the assessment. Summative assessments allow teachers to collect data to determine if their teaching methods are effective or not. Formative assessments are used to help identify areas of weakness if a student is having trouble grasping a concept or skill. Based on the results for the assessment we are able to adapt our teaching methods to best address those weaknesses. Summative assessments help teachers determine whether or not the way they are going about teaching the concepts and objectives is successful or not. Students’ abilities to gather knowledge, retain it, and use it in different contexts is what is measured with summative assessments. Some examples of formative assessments are entry or exit tickets, playing a game of Kahoot, and student made self- assessments. Some examples of summative assessments are a final exam, senior portfolio, or a final project. Formative assessments can be used throughout the course to check in with students and offer constructive criticism for areas that need improvement while summative assessments test their overall knowledge of a certain skill that should have been acquired. Summative assessment is used to evaluate whether or not the instruction was effective while formative assessment is used to guide the way the instruction is designed. Both are used to evaluate the progress of students throughout the course and can be adjusted as if the results produced are not meeting the standards.
