Discussion: Assessment Beyond Grades:<\/h2>\n

Assessments are an important part of K-12 education. Different types of assessments, such as formative and summative, are used for different purposes. Summative assessments often occur at the end of a unit or a school year to assess whether or not students have successfully met the learning objectives. They tend to be high-stakes tests, in that they often have a high point value and can have a considerable impact on student grades. In contrast, formative assessments tend to carry a lower point value, sometimes no point value, and are used during a unit to determine if modification is needed to more fully support student learning.<\/p>\n
