DESCRIPTION
After having analyzed all the information related to the evaluation process used by my tutor, and after having taken part in it, it is safe to affirm that my tutor uses a formative evaluation (assessment) during most of the time of the term, and a summative one as well, at the end of the term, but whose percentage is just 40% of the final mark. From now on, I am going to comment on how the evaluation process is developed in the school, how its formative dimension has a great importance for students and I will also talk about all the evaluation procedures I have followed/seen as well as the evaluation tools I have used. As I have said in the first paragraph, my tutor uses two types of evaluation: the formative one (assessment) and the summative one. In relation to the

    Authentic assessment practices, permit the educator not only a richer evaluation of students and their capabilities, but they also support and transform the processes of teaching and learning (Sheppard, 3).

    For example will assessment be initial/pre course, formative, summative or based on recognised prior learning. The assessor will need to decide the methods or activities to be used for assessment such as observations, performance evidence, discussion or witness/learner statement. How knowledge and understanding is going to be assessed also needs careful thought and could include tests, multiple choice questions, written assignment/task, a reflective journal, verbal questioning or naturally occurring evidence, all of which need to be fit for purpose and relate to the learner’s specific needs. Further considerations for assessment planning are to determine who will be assessing the learning/learner and how progress will be monitored and reviewed following feedback. 3.2 Evaluate the benefits of using a holistic approach to…

    Evaluation can often be as simple as notation after the specific assignments are completed. However, much like the evaluation of the groups themselves, it is beneficial to the teacher to have continuous evaluation throughout the process. In fact, using the group evaluations will help evaluate the action plan as a whole. Evaluation of the group will be done by its members. They will be asked about the group as a whole, and about their individual members—how collaboratively and collectively everyone worked toward the common goal that was their…

    Activity Description and Summary Years of research have proven that nothing schools can do for their student, matters more than giving them effective teachers. A few years with effective teachers can put even the most disadvantaged students on the path to college. A few years with ineffective teachers can deal students an academic blow from which they may never recover (Jordan, Mendro, and Weerasinghe, 1997). The internship activity of Teacher Evaluations allowed me the opportunity to observe teachers formally to evaluate their effectiveness. One week before their formal observation, we met with their immediate supervisor/assistant principal to review the lesson to be evaluated.…

    CHALLENGE: As universities and colleges strive to enhance student access, completion, and satisfaction, providing high-quality formative feedback has become an indispensable part of an effective teaching-learning environment in higher education. The primary goal of assessments with formative feedback is to provide ongoing information that can be used by instructors to improve their teaching and by students to improve their learning. However, as the number of students continues to increase in university classrooms, much more staff time and effort seem necessary to produce high-quality formative feedback from assessments. These time constraints typically result in delayed feedback as well as student dissatisfaction about the effectiveness of…

Summative tests are typically the biggest assessments of the year for students, teachers, and the district.

Colette has been teaching chemistry for 21 years in various schools, and for the past six years has been at Millbrook High School, in Millbrook New York. Colette prefers to use formative assessments frequently and summative assessments at the end of a big unit.…
