Life of an Educator: Have ‘summative’ assessments become obsolete?

“We hear the terms ‘formative’ and ‘summative’ assessments all the time in schools.

 As educators, we learned about the differences while in college in our education preparation courses. We now talk all the time about using assessments to ‘drive’ our instruction and provide guidance on where students are in the learning process.”
