What is the Difference?

By way of an analogy … Teacher Practice Rubrics are like

formative assessments, focusing more on process and designed to bring one to a certain level of performance over a period of time.

Teacher Evaluation Systems are like summative assessments, focusing on outcome and designed to benchmark or snapshot one’s current performance.
