Grades based on your achievement of the learning goals.

10% - Formative AssessmentsInform you and the teacher

90% - Summative Sum up your understanding

Formative vs. SummativeThe Sports Analogy

Your coach has you practice, gives you skills and suggestions to work on, and you work towards improvement.

That’s FormativeIt’s Game Day. You have put in your

time practicing and now you must perform.

That’s Summative

Formative Assessments

Practice Days10% of your final gradeNot everything is “graded” but

everything is assessedThe teacher will look at your work

and provide feedback. They will record you improvement,

but the work may or may not be included in your formative grade.

Summative Assessments

Game Day90% of your final gradeThere will be a summative

assessment for each learning goal.What if I fail or do poorly?

You may retake/redo the assessmentRequirement: study session, extra

work, etc.

What is More Important?Formative or Summative?

What do you think?Can you do poorly in practice,

yet do well in the game?
