Formative vs Summative Assessments
Formative assessments (assessments that aid in learning) are designed to give students practice and feedback on the skills introduced, reinforced, and refined during the course of a unit of study.
Formative assessments are generally completion grades and include daily work, homework, discussions, small group activities, informal checks for understanding, etc. Teachers will use formative assessments to evaluate students’ progress at regular intervals, modify instruction, and determine the degree to which students understand and can demonstrate skills and content knowledge.
Formative assessments may be submitted for credit and feedback after the assignment is due, as long as the skills are still relevant to the unit of study.
Formative Grade Categories:Formative Reading: 10%Formative Writing: 10%Formative Vocabulary: 10%Formative Presentation: 10%Formative Behavior: 10%
Formative Assessments: 50% of total Grade
Summative Assessments
Summative assessments (assessments that measure learning over time) are designed to be comprehensive in nature and to assess the student’s level of learning at the end of a unit of study.
Summative assessments require students to demonstrate
mastery; therefore, students are provided ample time and feedback to prepare for these assessments, which may include exams, tests, projects, essays and writing portfolios.
Summative assessments are graded against criterion so as to measure the student’s
Summative Assessments are worth 50% of your grade. Please be aware of the fact that you can’t earn English credit if you do NOT turn in summative assessments.

quality and effort will be returned un-graded.
