Summative assessments are most often a formal type of evaluation and can be heavily weighted.

Summative assessments are used to:
- evaluate student learning at the end of a unit, course, or program.
- "provide cumulative snapshots to evaluate and report on student learning." (WI.gov)
- to answer "are all of our students meeting the standards?" (WI.gov)

Formative assessments are used:
- to monitor student progress
- identify areas of strengths and learning gaps
- serve as feedback for the teachers to shape teaching methods and strategies.

    Students monitor their own learning, ask questions, and take responsibility for deciding what they know and how they can improve. Usually, assessment as learning relies on informal feedback, self-reflection, and peer-to-peer assessment to provide deeper learning opportunities as well as learning how to learn. 

    Emphasis on collaboration, reflection, and self-evaluation.

This demonstration can include generating a short written response, writing an analytical essay, conducting a science investigation, creating a curated portfolio of work, or developing an original research paper."

Firstly, it allows educators to identify the strengths and weaknesses of students. By assessing performance, teachers can gain insights into students' individual needs, tailor their instruction accordingly, and provide additional support. 

    Secondly, performance assessments promote deeper learning and critical thinking skills. Traditional assessments like multiple-choice tests often measure only surface-level knowledge, whereas performance assessments encourage students to apply their knowledge to real-world contexts and demonstrate their understanding through authentic tasks. 

    Lastly, performance assessment helps educators evaluate the effectiveness of their instructional methods and make informed decisions for curriculum improvement.]]>     2023-07-17 22:20:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahjin5/ag41nrnjonyg36qz/wish/2646614366     Performance Assessment in ECE nasrenebux https://padlet.com/sarahjin5/ag41nrnjonyg36qz/wish/2646616287 In early childhood education, performance assessment focuses on the development of foundational skills. For example, teachers may assess a child's phonological awareness by observing their ability to identify and manipulate sounds in spoken words. Assessments can also involve documenting a child's progress in social-emotional skills, fine motor skills, or cognitive development through activities such as drawing, building blocks, or engaging in group play.

For example, a history teacher might assess a student's ability to analyze primary sources and construct historical arguments through an essay or a presentation. In science courses, performance assessment might involve conducting and reporting on a rigorous scientific experiment or analyzing real-world data. In vocational or technical courses, performance assessment may involve completing a project that demonstrates proficiency in a specific skill, such as coding, carpentry, or graphic design.]]> 2023-07-17 22:39:43 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahjin5/ag41nrnjonyg36qz/wish/2646618531
