Understanding the difference between formative and summative assessments is crucial for effective teaching and learning. ➡️ Formative assessments provide continuous feedback during the learning process. They’re integral to fostering student growth and ensuring personalized instruction. ➡️ Summative assesments evaluate student learning at the end of a learning period. They’re essential for assessing overall student achievement and institutional performance. To get the most out of your assessments, follow these best practices: ✔️Automate grading to save time and effort for classroom instruction. ✔️Use a scalable testing solution to administer assessments district-wide. ✔️Integrate your assessment suite with a learning management system (LMS) to deliver instant feedback to students. Check out our recent article on formative vs. summative assessments for more information. #Teaching #Learning #Assessment #EdTech

Looking to save time on summative assessments? Here are a few ideas: 1. Choose an EdTech solution that automates grading 2. Integrate accessibility to meet diverse student needs 3. Administer tests that can easily be scaled across schools and districts 4. Turn testing into a learning opportunity with technology-enhanced items 5. Implement rubrics that simplify scoring for essays and long answers 6. Use an interoperable solution so you don’t have to switch between different software programs Our best practices for summative evaluation can also help schools: 🔹Eliminate bias by randomly matching scorers and students 🔹Rate the raters to minimize the impact of harsh or lax grading 🔹Scale assessments across entire school systems To learn more, check out our recent article on summative evaluations #education #EdTech #assessments #automation #innovation

Want to get insight into your students’ progress while helping them close learning gaps? Use formative assessments to give your classes valuable feedback. By administering assessments throughout the learning period, you can ensure that instruction matches student needs. Many formative assessments double as learning opportunities. These include: ✔️Socratic seminars challenging students to analyze and discuss a text or video, and enabling you to evaluate higher-order thinking skills. ✔️Concept maps calling on students to make connections between ideas while showcasing their knowledge. ✔️Self-assessments that entail reflection and metacognition, helping draw student attention to the areas they need to focus on. ✔️Think-Pair-Share activities that require students to pair up, tackle a difficult question, and present their ideas to the class.
