everyone fails a quiz?– What should we do as

a teacher when students don’t know the answer to an important question?

Summative AssessmentSummative Assessment

• Assesses only mastery and performance toward an already established content or skill standard.

• Wormeli says that this should be the only graded work in a class.

• Examples – Portfolios, End of Unit Exams (standards aligned), Projects, etc.

Raising the BarRaising the Bar

• Make sure to know what you expect and communicate them effectively and often.

• Assess only on expectations (not lateness or neatness or behavior)

• Utilize more critical thinking.

• Instead of asking to explain, ask to defend. Instead of asking to describe, ask to compare.

• Concentrate less on facts and more on concepts, etc.

• Now, if you have any questions please write them on a sticky note and put them in the

parking lot.

• We will look at those questions a bit later.

• BREAK TIME!
