Introduction
         “Formative and summative 
             evaluations are the two 
                primary methods of 
              evaluation currently in 
                        vogue.”

               Summative Evaluations
        • Summative evaluations take place at the end 
          of a specific time frame. 
        • As for teacher evaluations and observations, 
          summative assessments take place midway 
          through the year and at the end of the year.
        • Summative evaluations are formal in nature 
          and do not allow for much feedback.
                                   
               Formative Evaluations
        • Formative evaluations are ongoing.
        • They are usually informal and come in the 
          form of a checklist or anecdotal records.
        • Formative evaluations provide immediate 
          feedback.
        • They ensure teacher effectiveness and 
          success as they monitor progress 
          throughout the school year.
                                 
             Teacher Observations and 
                       Evaluations
        • Supervisors and administrators have a 
          great responsibility when it comes to 
          observing and evaluating staff members.
                                 
             Teacher Observations and 
                       Evaluations
        • It is important that administrators do not 
          solely rely on SUMMATIVE assessments.
        • Many do because of the demands of their 
          positions.
        • Supervisors and administrators must utilize 
          both forms of assessment to ensure 
          accurate data collection and 
          recommendations
