Types of Assessment

Formal vs. Informal Written vs. Performance Tasks vs.

Projects vs. Portfolios Summative vs. Diagnostic vs. Formative

Summative Assessments Designed to measure knowledge, skills, and abilities

after instruction has taken place.

Typically Summative Assessments has “Pass” and “Fail” associated with them which distinguishes them from Formative and Diagnostic which don’t. 

Examples: SOL SAT/ACT Final Exams or tests

Diagnostic Assessment Understand the current knowledge, skill, and/or ability so that

we can diagnose the gap and thereby provide a prescription for learning if required.

Identify students’ current knowledge of a subject, their skill sets and capabilities, and to clarify misconceptions before teaching takes place.

Knowing students’ strengths and weaknesses can help you better plan what to teach and how to teach it.

Examples: NWEA ARDT Teacher Evaluation Skills/Tasks

Formative Assessment Provide feedback and information during the

instructional process, while learning is taking place, and while learning is occurring.

Used to strengthen memory recall by practice and to correct misconceptions and to promote confidence in ones knowledge.

Examples: Warm-ups & Exit tickets ActivEngage Informal assessments – survey, thumbs up/thumbs down

SPBQ Report Student Performance By Question (SPBQ) SOL report generated from VDOE Breaks down SOL into question stems

Determine what is important! Identify district and school strengths and

weaknesses Ideal time – summer planning, beginning

of the year

How can I use this now? Examine topics of emphasis Examine question stems – TEI? Rigor?

Team approach

Work smarter – not harder! Examine your pacing for remainder of

the year

decision!Different scenarios:

○ Focus on “endurance”○ Focus on “instructional time”

Remediate immediately based upon student performance.
