Introduction

Formative and summative

evaluations are the twoprimary methods of

evaluation currently in

vogue.(Dr. K., Week 7, Lecture 7)


3/30

Summative Evaluations

Summative evaluations take place at theend of a specific time frame.

As for teacher evaluations andobservations, summative assessments takeplace midway through the year and at theend of the year.

Summative evaluations are formal innature and do not allow for much feedback.


4/30

Formative Evaluations

Formative evaluations are ongoing.

They are usually informal and come in theform of a checklist or anecdotal records.

Formative evaluations provide immediatefeedback.

They ensure teacher effectiveness and

success as they monitor progressthroughout the school year.


5/30

Teacher Observations and

Evaluations Supervisors and administrators have a

great responsibility when it comes to

observing and evaluating staff members.


6/30

Teacher Observations and

Evaluations It is important that administrators do notsolely rely on SUMMATIVE assessments.

Many do because of the demands of theirpositions.

Supervisors and administrators must utilizeboth forms of assessment to ensure

accurate data collection andrecommendations

FORMATIVE

vs.

SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENTS

THE DIFFERENCES


8/30

FORMATIVE

Little more complex

Completed during development of

program

Conducted more than once

Research oriented--intent is toimprove


9/30

Coaching for success

Ensure goals are being met

Provide feedback

Learning spiraling upwards

Not necessarily in need of, or to evaluate, a

product

Assessments usually remain in-house

The Link Between

Formative & Summative

Evaluation


14/30

Simply pointing out thedifferences between two forms

of evaluation is not always veryuseful.

True understanding isnt always

achieved

Formative and Summative

Evaluation forms are a lot likeapples and oranges


15/30

(Formative Vs. Summative)

It is because of the similarity between the twoforms of evaluation

that pointing out the differences becomesfruitful

Just as apples are different than oranges;

None-the-less both are fruits, edible, andround


16/30

Both Formative and Summative

Evaluation forms must be

effective!


17/30

Key features of effective

evaluation

alignment

validity

reliability Transparency


18/30

Alignment

There should be alignment between:

clear and realistic learning outcomes

learning opportunities to achieve theseoutcomes

evaluation methods and tasks related to the

learning outcomes and methods of learning


19/30

Validity

Evaluation should measure what it sets out to

measure:

This is tipically pointed out during thepreconference between the teacher and the

administrator


20/30

Reliability

Evaluation should be consistent and fair:

good assessor reliabilityadministrator

with classroom experience preferably.


21/30

Transparency

No 'hidden agendas' or surprises for teachers:

Teachers should not have to guess what is

in the assessor's mind. evaluation should be clearly aligned to

published learning outcomes or a teacher

personal improvement plan (PIP).


22/30

3 Purposes of Evaluation

1. To consistently promote growth.

2. To improve delivery of content to the

students.3. To ultimately improve the learning of the

students (the accountability piece).


23/30

Words of Wisdom

teachers can fix bad teaching; they find it very

difficult to escape bad evaluations.

Nothing that we do to, or for, our teachers is

more important than our evaluation of their work

and the feedback administrators and peers give

them on it. The results of our evaluationsinfluence our teachers for the rest of their

careers.


24/30

The best method of evaluation is


25/30

Formative evaluations

Provides on-going assessments, reviews, and observations ina classroom

Teachers use formative assessment to improve instructionalmethods with student feedback throughout the teaching and

learning process.

Teacher observes students that do not grasp a concept, sheor he can design a review activity or use a differentinstructional strategy.

students can monitor their own progress with periodic quizzesand performance tasks.

results of formative evaluations are used to modify and validateinstruction.


26/30

The difference between

formative and summative The value of formative evaluation must express with the

distinction to students in language they can grasp

Formative evaluation is the process of judging an ongoing,

changing process or diagnosis, revision, description,information, or comparison.

Summative evaluation is a final-end decision serving purposesof persuasion, verification, prediction or validity

Where there is no formative evaluation, by definition, thestudent learns nothing after submitting the work


27/30

While formative evaluation highlights areas that

need improvement or remediation

Formative test results may lead to conclusions that

other methods would be more effective.

preferably educators should incorporate both typesof evaluation in program development.


28/30

Plan of the formative evaluation

Assess progress towards meeting the curriculums aims andobjectives

Assess how effectively projects are contributing to meeting thecurriculum

Gather and publish best practice

Identify gaps and issues

Raise awareness of the plan and stimulate discussion

Ensure that course outputs are meeting students needs

Ensure the curriculum can respond flexibly to changes
