It is interwoven with learning, and helps teachers and students to find out what the students already know and can do. Formative assessment and teaching are directly linked and function purposefully together. it aims to promote learning by giving regular and frequent feedback. This helps learners to improve knowledge and understanding, to foster enthusiasm for learning, to engage in thoughtful reflection, to develop the capacity for self-assessment, and to recognize the criteria for success.
Summative assessment: is the culmination of the teaching and learning process, and gives the students opportunities to demonstrate what has been learned. It can assess several elements simultaneously: it informs and improves student learning and the teaching process; it measures understanding of the central idea, and prompts students towards action. ]]> 2017-10-17 14:32:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sondos_k7/l25d812n7u61/wish/197815206 Teachers will Reflect back on their Planners sondos_k7 https://padlet.com/sondos_k7/l25d812n7u61/wish/197816592 A teacher can re adjust her lesson plans according to the assessments. which is great way to work according to their needs. ]]> 2017-10-17 14:34:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sondos_k7/l25d812n7u61/wish/197816592 -What happens after the Assessments?- sondos_k7 https://padlet.com/sondos_k7/l25d812n7u61/wish/197817577  it is important to ask further questions such as the following.

  • Rubrics
  • Exemplars
  • Checklists
  • Anecdotal records
  • Continuums 

    • -Observations: are taken from different angles. focusing on one student or activity or as a whole. 
    -Performance assessments: require the use of different skills. 
    - Process-focused assessments:  A system of note taking and record keeping is created that minimizes writing and recording time.
    -Selected responses:  tests and quizzes.
     Open-ended tasks:  written answer, a drawing, a diagram or a solution. The work, with the assessment criteria attached, could be included in a portfolio.
