Formative AssessmentChecking Up

• Formative Assessment: Formal and informal processes teachers and students use to gather evidence for the purpose of improving learning.

• Summative Assessment: Assessments that provide evidence of student achievement for the purpose of making a judgment about student competence or program effectiveness.

It isn’t the method that determines whether the

assessment is summative or formative…

…it is how the results are used.
