Formative and summative assessments are not meant to give students a hard time, but to find out how much a student is succeeding, what they may be struggling on (if any), if they are above or below average, if they need intervention. It makes teaching more meaningful because we can't just teach and not assess.

Assessments are important to measure how much a student is taking away from each lesson. I know there are many many different indirect ways to assess, and nowadays, assessing isn't just in the form of a paper and pencil, or multiple choice questions, but assessments are to help the teacher know how much the student is getting from the lessons and to identify misconceptions.

I am a visual learner, therefore this video was excellent in providing more details of assessments, when and how teachers use them as well as examples.
1. Diagnostic assessments should take place at the beginning or at the start of a new unit, they measure academic abilities, help plan lessons and an example is a pre-course test.
2. Formative assessments is information the teacher gets "on the fly". It usually takes place during the teaching process, to measure understanding and informs the teacher to stop, review or move on to different material.
3. Summative assessments are usually at the end of a unit and judge if the teacher should advance in the course. An example of a summary assessment is a thesis paper. In our case a Curriculum Design Project.

Assessments provide a way to guide our teaching. We need to understand where students are to guide their learning. When teachers assess students, we use different assessments to find out where they are in understanding a concept.

There are different kinds of assessment tools that a teacher may use. Diagnostic Assessment: This form of assessment occurs at the onset of the school year, aiding teachers in understanding a student's starting point for the new academic year. It helps in grouping students based on their existing knowledge and skills. Formative Assessment: Designed primarily for teachers, formative assessments are utilized to gather data that informs instructional decisions. They assist educators in determining whether to advance to the next lesson or dedicate more time to reviewing the material. Summative Assessment: Administered at the conclusion of a unit or course, summative assessments are used to assess whether students have successfully mastered the material. They provide teachers with a conclusive overview of student achievement.

Assessments serve as instruments for teachers to obtain feedback from students. This valuable tool enables educators to analyze the data collected, directing their attention towards specific students or topics that may require further review. Moreover, assessments enable teachers to adapt their teaching methods to better suit the diverse needs of their students, ultimately enhancing the class's overall understanding.

Teachers use assessment to see how well students are learning the material they are being taught.
Diagnostic assessments help teachers to determine what their students know before the start of the lesson.
Teachers are constantly conducting formative assessments. These assessments help them gauge how well their students are progressing.
Summative assessments help determine how much a student learned over a particular amount of time.

As a teacher, we should always be aware of the level and phase  student are. Assessments are crucial because they help us determine where are children are. The three assessments are very important because each assessments tells a teacher different answers. For example:
1. Diagnostic are pre assessments help teachers understand if students have any information before the lesson. With the knowledge, teachers can use this to plan their lesson.
2. Formative: These assessments are used during lessons and teaching the information. These assessments are important because teachers can stop and review or move on.
3. Summative: This final assessment is used at the end of the subject. This will help teachers improve and make changes depending on the results of the students.

Implementing all these assessments are necessary. They are not all needed. I found summative interesting and least beneficial to some students that have cognitive disabilities. An end of the unit assessment may negatively impact a students process of knowledge and may create unnecessary anxiety.

# data[].attributes.body
Formative assessment is crucial as well as other assessments. Formative usually meets on a weekly basis to assess the progress a student has. This is crucial for the students learning process because it gives them a chance to be one-on-one with the teacher and student. You can assess and use the correct resources for that student in the future.

Assessments are a crucial part of the learning process, and it helps us understand the skill level a student has. I have learned that I relate to diagnostic assessment the best because thats how I learned and was assessed most successfully. I feel like it is important to observe and understand the students strengths and weaknesses before assessing.

Diagnostic assessement is done at the start of a lesson/ unit and can be conducted using predesigned test examples. This assessment helps design the future lesson plans and understand the gaps in student learning/understanding.
Formative assessment can be conducted during a lesson in session, it can be initiated by a student question as well. Summative assessment is more towards the end of the lesson that can be conducted using a paper/booklet and determines if a student can advance through the course or not.

Assessments can be considered as a tool that helps teachers to understand where a student stands and how much he/she knows at that point. This tool is not to underestimate a child's ability to learn, but is only considered as a medium that helps teacher to meet the child where they are.
I am familiar with Formative and Summative assessments. Formative assessment is a way of assessing students as the content is being taught (this helps a teacher to adjust their lessons as per need), whereas, Summative assessment is done more towards the end of the lesson/year to see how much a student(s) has understood.

Assessments help by understanding the students needs through out the course. Diagnostic Assessment  helps understand achievement gaps and help to plan for the course. Formative Assessments happens during the course and often during class to help individual on the fly. Summative Assessment is at the end of the course and helps understand what the student has mastered.

Different types of assessments measure different time frames of the student's learning development. For example, while a summative assessment determines whether a student may advance to the next course at the end of the current course (essays, final exams, etc.), formative assessments measure in real-time, while the course is being taught, and assess by "low-stakes" techniques (brainstorms, exit tickets, etc.). Finally, diagnostic assessments informs the teacher what the student knows at the beginning of the course to help the teacher acquire a sense of the student's academic ability (surveys, journals, etc.)

Assessments are observational tools that gather information about a student's learning development based on their performance, or set performances. They are intended to communicate an accurate interpretation of the student's progress relative to a standard or to the student's previous performance(s).

There are three different ways for Assessment of Student Learning :
1. Diagonistic : It is basically done before the course work starts and we can do the same by taking pre-test. This assessment will help in knowing what students know and the learning gap.
2. Formative: It is an ongoing, continuous assessment method which takes place during the teaching. It can be done through, quiz's, random questions,  polls. It helps to know what and where students are struggling and plan accordingly.
3. Summative:  It is done at the end of the instructional period. Final exams, Presentations, Forms are few of the way the Summative Assessment can be done. It helps in ultimate Assessment of student.

There are three different types of assessments:
1. Diagnostic: an assessment to determine learning gap or prior knowledge. It is implemented before the start of a course.
2. Formative: will help determine if students understand the concepts being taught or if I need to re-teach. It is implemented as the lesson is being taught.
3. Summative: will help determine if students can advance in the course. It is implemented at the end of a course to determine gained knowledge.

Assessments! We need them, they can be time consuming and frustrating to assess individually and still keep a class under control, especially the younger grades. As educators we need to know what our students know, what they don't know yet and how to get them to where they are gaining knowledge for their grade level.

There are basically 3 types of Assessments:
1. Formative: These are conducted during the instructional process, often on an ongoing basis. The purpose is to monitor student learning, and to provide feedback on how much students have understood. An example would be an Exit Ticket.
2. Diagnostic: These are pre-assessments to understand students' existing knowledge and where on stands. A typical example can be at the beginning of the New School year, when a student's transitions from one grade to the next.
3. Summative: These refer to the comprehensive evaluation at the end of an instructional period like a trimester to determine the overall student learning and achievement. An example would be Standardized Test.

Assessments provide important insights on a students' incremental journey throughout a particular grade. These are important to ensure that students understand what teachers are teaching and whether the Teaching/Learning process is meeting its desired milestones. There are various ways in which we can monitor students throughout the academic year.

There are a variety of different assessments that serve a variety of different purposes. Diagnostic tests help teachers identify learning gaps while formative assessments help teachers identify when students are stuck with certain aspects of the material. Summative assessments help teachers assess whether students have gained mastery over a cumulative portion of the material.

There are 3 different kinds of assessments: 1) Diagnostic 2) Formative 3) Summative. Diagnostic assessment is used to find out the student’s skill gap in the beginning of a class or program. Formative assessment is used during a class to check student’s understanding such as in-class Q&A. Finally summative assessment is used for testing student’s overall performance and understanding such as final exam. They are all assessments but given in a different time of the learning process.

Assessment is to find out student’s skills level, what she knows and what she does not know. Assessment is important because it’s like a guideline for teacher to know her students’ strength and weakness. Without assessment, progress cannot be measured and validated.

Assessments are also used for grading purposes such as report cards.  Some examples of summative assessments can be a final exam or a research paper.

Assessments are used to measure student's learning level in order for teachers to adjust their curriculum accordingly. Teachers can do several informal assessments in class in order to see if students are retaining material. If teachers notice that a student hasn't mastered something they may want to go over the material.

There are different assessments for different purposes when developing a course. Diagnostic would be to prep for lesson planning and see where student are. Formative is to make decisions in real time in-classroom. Summative helps decide what other support needs the student may have in order to move past the given lesson or if they are able to to move grades,etc.
