Types of Assessments:Summative & Formative
Formative assessment, on the other hand, is the equivalent of feeding and watering the plants appropriate to their needs - directly affecting their growth.
If we think of our children as plants … Summative assessment of the plants is the process of simply measuring them. It might be interesting to compare and analyze measurements but, in themselves, these do not affect the growth of the plants.

The instructor AND the students already know what they know…you know?
Using UDL methods for Formative Assessment takes the “guesswork” out of MEAP, MME, ACT…
