Formative and summative assessments

  Measuring the academic performance of all students using both formative and summative assessments can provide a better picture of instructional modifications needed. In addition, sharing data with families can help them understand how to help their students at home. For this assignment, create a 500-750 word brochure for families sharing information relating to assessment. The brochure must: Define formal and informal assessments. Describe how each assessment type is used during instruction. Include a minimum of two specific instructional examples for both formal and informal assessment (observation, questioning strategies, ticket out the door, etc.). Identify the purpose of differentiating instruction and assessment to meet diverse learning needs. Provide support resources and activities that can be implemented at home to support the assessment process for learning.
