Formative vs Summative Assessment
Formative and summative assessments are two very different ways to check for mastery and should be used in very different ways. Refer to the chart below for the main differences.
Formative assessment can be used frequently and is not to be graded. Assessment can occur in many formats, including but not limited to quick quizzes, small group instruction, practice in Kagan cooperative groups, and through the use of Thinking Maps. Any time students are showcasing what they are learning, the teacher can analyze and modify instruction to meet the student's needs.
Summative assessments are given for a grade at the end of a unit of study, or at the end of a grade/course. This is only given after all instruction and multiple formative assessments to improve teaching and learning. Summative assessments can also occur in many formats, and is not limited to multiple-choice tests. Summative assessments can also showcase learning through creative projects, written essays, etc.
