FORMATIVE

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FORMATIVE AND SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT?

FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS ARE GENERALLY LOW STAKES, 

WHICH MEANS THAT THEY HAVE LOW OR NO POINT VALUE.

SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT

THE GOAL OF SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT IS TO EVALUATE STUDENT LEARNING AT THE END OF AN INSTRUCTIONAL UNIT BY COMPARING IT AGAINST SOME STANDARD OR BENCHMARK.
