Formative assessments, or assessments that are embedded as part of daily instruction,


account for 30% of a students grade. Examples of formative assessments include homework,
class work, group work, exploratory labs, exit tickets, and draft essays. Summative assessments
account for 70% of a students grade. A summative assessment occurs after instruction has been
completed on a given topic, standard, or unit. Summative assessments are used to determine
what students know, understand and are able to do at one point in time. Examples of summative
assessments include unit tests, announced quizzes, major projects, essays, tests, lab projects, and
final exams.
Summative Assessment Retest Policy and Expected Student Behaviors are referenced in
the calendar handbook and/or at http://www.dcps.k12.md.us/.
