Formative Assessment: Reflects the needs and progress of students. Usually not graded, these provide information to guide teachers as they make instructional decisions to modify and adjust teaching practices. Summative Assessment: Evaluates student learning at the end of a term, chapter, semester, or year. High-stakes testing is also a form of Summative assessment. (Swearington, 2002)
