Formative assessment measures and supports ongoing learning rather than evaluating teaching. 2) Formative assessment can be used to gauge prior knowledge, encourage self-directed learning, monitor progress, check for understanding, and encourage metacognition. 3) The document advocates for assessment that is integrated into instruction and becomes part of the learning process, with students and teachers co-designing curriculum and assessment.

14. Summative vs. Formative assessment Summative assessment is commonly used to certify the amount that individuals have learned and to provide an accountability measure. Summative assessments hold teachers accountable for standardized performance. They measure how well the teacher taught the curriculum. Formative assessment, in which the assessment is integrated with the instruction (and sometimes serves as the instruction) with the purpose of deepening learning, can replace summative assessment in many cases. Formative assessment measures and supports learning, not teaching. Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach 21stcenturycollaborative.com NEW DIRECTIONS IN ASSESSMENTEducation Week PD

32. Courage to Shift the way we teach and learnthe art of release… It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power. ~~Alan Cohen Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach 21stcenturycollaborative.com NEW DIRECTIONS IN ASSESSMENT Education week PD webinar
