Formative Assessment*Formative: tells us how well the student is doing

as work progresses.

Formative assessment is a term for any type of assessment used to gather student feedback and

improve instruction.

Formative assessments occur during the learning process, often while students are engaged in other

activities.

It tells us how well the student did at the end of a unit/task

Summative assessment occurs at the end of a unit of study in order to measure the amount of information the students have learned.

Teachers can circulate the room to monitor students' progress. If students are working independently or in groups, teachers should intervene when the students are not understanding the material.

Teachers can also take note of students' comments and participation levels during class discussions to gauge their learning.

Selected response assessments are any type of objective exam where there is only one correct answer for each question.

Multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, matching and true/false questions are all types of selected response assessments.

Performance assessments require students to perform as a means of showing they understand class material.

These assessments evaluate complex cognitiveprocesses as well as attitude and social skills, and students often find them engaging.

Portfolio assessments evaluate a student's progress over the course of the semester. It is more than a one-time picture of what a learner has accomplished.

Portfolios offer teachers a review of each student's progress over the course of a year, or, as in continuous comprehensive evaluation, over the course of one's educational training.

Grading is an assessment tool that truly needs no introduction.

Teachers use grading as a method to score students' performance on individual projects.

It reflects how well a student has learned a subject and where he continues to struggle in the learning process.
