Summative assessment as you describe it, a student product, is different than the standardized once a year tests that are being used as summative assessments. I'm envisioning formative assessment that is stored and reported as part of a portfolio which would hopefully also include student created products that would be summative expressions of their learning. Formative assessments and comprehensive portfolios can, I think, make standardized tests irrelevant.Dan McGuirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17165245665212961209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816065258449299220.post-30809441806486033132012-12-07T10:52:39.322-06:002012-12-07T10:52:39.322-06:00I'm not sure I agree that formative assessment...I'm not sure I agree that formative assessment can replace summative assessment. Formative assessment should be used as a no-risk opportunity for students to demonstrate what they understand. It should be used to help the teacher guide instruction and potentially even exempt students from some of the content they may have mastered. I'd like to think that a summative assessment is more of a product that a student creates using higher level thinking skills that bring concepts together. Formative assessment is usually reserved for lower level thinking skills like multiple choice; true/false; matching; short answer; etc.Mr. Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02928142672137841146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816065258449299220.post-10170716443266907502012-12-03T23:33:53.265-06:002012-12-03T23:33:53.265-06:00Thanks, Seth.

Continuing on the point of agreement - good formative assessment, accurately reported and stored, could or would make summative assessment irrelevant. You're absolutely correct that the current methods and processes of formative assessment aren't easily widely reported. The question then becomes is it better to continue as we're doing with summative assessments, or take a new course that will yield much better results. Once there's a stronger consensus about the benefits of sufficient formative assessment as an alternative to summative assessment, the path ahead will easier. The current process really isn't easy, either, is it? It's just familiar.Dan McGuirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17165245665212961209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816065258449299220.post-85475408973554665642012-11-12T17:46:31.948-06:002012-11-12T17:46:31.948-06:00I agree with the previous comment that this is a v...I agree with the previous comment that this is a valuable take on a thorny issue.<br /><br />At the end of the piece, Dan suggests that good formative assessment, carefully collected and categorized, makes summative assessment somewhat superfluous. I agree. But I don't think we're quite at the point where it is easy to create and collect good formative assessment. Maybe asking for "easy" is off-target.
