Assessment for Learning (Formative)
Formative assessment provides opportunities for students to receive
feedback. Formative feedback is used solely to help students improve
their performance.
The checklist in Peer Coaching Feedback: Communicating
Effectively in a Letter provides an opportunity
for students to consider criteria for an effective presentation
and based on feedback, improve their work before submitting their
final assignment for grading.
Assessment of Learning (Summative)
Summative assessment takes place after instruction and after students
have had a chance to practise and receive feedback on their work.
Summative assessment provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate
what they know and can do.
The Student Self-reflection: Better or Worse? provides
an opportunity for students to demonstrate their understanding of
the skills of making inferences and re-evaluating opinions. This
tool can help students do a more thorough job of making inferences
as well as provide teachers with additional evidence of student learning
to use when evaluating students.
The Rubric for Comparing Then and Now can be
used to evaluate student performance on the culminating student task.
