It helps teachers to identify the children's strengths and weaknesses for the lesson as well as gives the teachers the opportunity to give direct and ongoing feedback.
Examples: Submit one or two sentences identifying the main idea of the lecture after class. Kahoot quizzes can also be used as formative assessments. ]]> 2020-02-20 16:05:38 UTC https://padlet.com/edwardsl2018/rccjmfda3az3/wish/448114859 Summative Assessments edwardsl2018 https://padlet.com/edwardsl2018/rccjmfda3az3/wish/448115245 The overall goal of summative assessments is to evaluate students overall knowledge of a topic they have already learned.

Examples: SAT, ACT, midterms, or final exams for specific classes. ]]> 2020-02-20 16:06:08 UTC https://padlet.com/edwardsl2018/rccjmfda3az3/wish/448115245 Performance Assessments edwardsl2018 https://padlet.com/edwardsl2018/rccjmfda3az3/wish/448115822 A performance assessment is similar to a performance task, because instead of actually choosing answers from tests, the students must perform certain tasks to get the grade.
