Formative and Summative Assessment
by TIE, Melanie Hurley, Learning Specialist
Page 2
What do we want for our students?
“We all want students who have high expectations of themselves as
learners; students who feel confident about their capacity to learn, who set high goals for their learning, and who
work for themselves to construct enjoyable, challenging learning
pathways to their futures.” (Absolum, 2006)

Outcomes
• I know what is the difference from most formative to most summative
• I know there is a continuum in assessment from most formative to most summative
• I know how to use most formative in my classroom
• I know how to use most summative in my classroom

The word ‘Assess’
“Comes from the Latin verb “assidere” meaning “to sit with”. In assessment, one should sit with the learner. This implies it is something we do with and for students and not
to students.” (Green, 1998)

How do you see assessment?• Assessment point/task• After learning • During learning• Feedback• Feed-forward• Learning continuum• Of learning• For learning• Looks back• Looks forward• Review/reflect• Improve/enhance
Activity: • Use the listed terms as a
starting point to develop a representation (model, mind-map, concept map) of how you see the relationship between summative and formative assessment.

What are summative and formative assessment?
The Garden Analogy• If we think of our children as plants …
• Summative assessment of the plants is the process of simply measuring them. It might be interesting to compare and analyze measurements but, in themselves, these do not affect the growth of the plants.
• Formative assessment, on the other hand, is the equivalent of feeding and watering the plants appropriate to their needs - directly affecting their growth.

Formative and Summative Assessment
An easy distinction between formative and summative assessment:
• Formative assessment is assessment for learning. Its focus is on future achievement.
• Summative assessment is assessment of learning. It assesses what has been learned in the past.
Page 9
Interconnected• However, formative and summative
assessment are interconnected. They seldom stand alone in construction or effect.
• “Using the terms formative and summative assessment can give the impression that these are different kinds of assessment or are linked to different methods of gathering evidence. This is not the case; what matters is how the evidence is used.” (Harlen, 2006)

Put it Together
I say strategy• Formative assessment – (clap) for
the learner• Teach (with partner)
I say strategy
Summative assessment – (round it up motion) sums it up
• Teach (with partner)

Now we Know the “WHAT” of Formative and Summative
• Now….Self Assess
Page 17
Page 18
Reflect over Self-Assessment
• Decide – What are your strengths?
• Decide – What are your areas for improvement?
• Put yellow sticky
note on strength
put pink sticky note
on area for improvement

Complete How I Plan to Use Assessment in My Class
• With a partner brainstorm ways you plan to use most formative and somewhat formative assessment in your classroom
• Complete the last column of the chart

Let’s Put the Pieces Together• Where does learning targets fit into
assessment formative and summative?
• Discuss with a partner
• Share main points of your discussion in a picture
Most Formative – More Formative – More Summative – Most Summative

Next Session
• Bring: • Lesson Plans• Assessment – examples of both
formative and summative• Standards• One content area materials
Page 24
In each series of lessons ask, What is the end goal?
End goal = Top of the Stairs (Summative)
How you get to the goal = One step at a time Learning Targets Every Day (Most Formative)
Learning Targets Combined(More Formative) = Half Way Point Up Stairs, looking forward and back to see how you are doing as the learner and teacher
Page 25
Planning
• Look at next series of lessons/unit• Map out the following:
1. Standards
2. Learning Targets
3. Formative Assessments
4. Mid-point assessments and plan for how and what you will do for students who are not learning content
5. Summative Assessments
Page 26
Planning is like a book…
• Title of the book – Big Idea of the Learning Content – Essential Learning
• Table of Contents – Learning targets for each lesson
• Chapters – Details of each lesson, activities
Page 27
While you plan….
• ASK yourself
– Does my standard match the learning target?
– Does my formative assessment match the standard and learning target?
– Do my lesson match the standard and learning target?
– Does my summative assessment match the standards and the learning targets?

Reflect on learning – 3 – 2- 1
• Share 3 things you learned• Share 2 things you are still
wondering about • Share 1 thing you will do in the
future
