Revitalizing Instruction Through Active Learning and Assessment

Formative Assessment

• Assessment that takes place while teaching and learning are ongoing; designed to make continuous improvement
• Discussing responses from Google Forms  in class; modifying instruction on-the-spot

Summative Assessment

• Assessment that takes place after teaching and learning come to an end; designed to be a final evaluation
• Rubric* 

Note:
*The rubric is from 2015 and the Google Form is from 2016.  That's why they don't match.  We are still revising the 2016 rubric.
