Reply To: Lesson 2: The True Purpose of Assessment – Discussion

[Christopher Ernst]

Great info on the difference between formative and summative assessment. I’m left with the question of how to incorporate this into the grade book? Should I give a student a grade on a formative assessment that helped me learn about their learning? Further, can I/how do I give a student a grade from a conversation we had about their learning? That seems disingenuous to the student and almost a “gotcha”. I’m sure these will be answered in the future.

Another lingering question is how can I make sure students use the data/feedback from formative assessments?
