This podcast episode discusses the three primary assessment and evaluation types for teachers: diagnostic, formative, and summative.

  • Diagnostic assessment is used to identify a student's strengths and weaknesses at the beginning of a school year or course to inform instruction. This can take many forms, such as diagnostic tests, skills assessments, and individualized learning plans.
  • Formative assessment is used to monitor and improve student learning in real-time. It's an ongoing process that helps teachers gauge whether students understand the material being taught and allows students to receive feedback and adjust their learning strategies. Examples include quizzes, class participation, and exit tickets.
  • Summative assessment is used to evaluate student learning at the end of a unit or school year; it often takes the form of a test or final project.
    The episode also provides examples of different assessments and evaluations that can be used in the classroom.
