This Spanish-language blog post highlights the differences between summative and formative assessments. Specifically, it highlights that formative assessments measure where learners are in the process of learning and that these measures should be used to inform how instructional time is spent. Further, it highlights that formative assessments are indicative of whether instruction is meeting the needs of students, while summative assessments show where the students are at the the end of a unit of study and are useful for comparing learners. While these differentiations are true when taking into account most definitions of summative and formative assessments, CASLS reminds readers that all evaluations, whether they occur at the end of a unit or not, should be used to inform ongoing teaching and learning practices within the classroom or other learning context.
