Record your thoughts in a meaningful way for you to remember them.
Assessments: Formative & Summative
Formative SummativeUsed by teachers and students during
instructionUsed at the end of a unit, class, semester
Purpose is to inform instruction Purpose is to measure learning retention
On-Going Assessment Time-bound, One-time Assessment
Not graded for a accountability (student or teacher)
Graded for accountability (student and/or teacher)
Descriptive in nature Evaluative in nature
One is NOT better than the other; they both have their place and are essential to learning
Assessments: Our Responsibility
• Marking-period benchmark assessments will be developed at the district level
• Mid-marking period common assessments will be developed by each PLC
• CRW participants are NOT CREATING assessments
• CRW teams ARE developing the criteria by which students will be measured
Group WorkFor each content area/grade your group is responsible for:
1.Create Essential Questions for the first ½ of the year/course
2.Identify where end of marking period and mid-marking period pacing should fall (so assessments can be created by PLCs)
3.Create Learning Targets and Criteria for Success for the first ½ of the year/course
4.Identify Assessment Ideas
5.Align learning targets and criteria success to the standards
