I teach first grade math, reading, and writing. For my math class, we take an exit ticket daily where I keep track of what skill students understand and don't understand. I do this not only for  exit tickets but also during practice sheets. This form of assessment is summative assessment because it is for the improvement of skills throughout the module. When I do reading, I do monthly assessment of literacy foundation skills. Often I like to refer this as a formative assessment because it is a do you know it or don't know it type of assessment. Students will take the same test until they pass it before they move on to the next assessment.

Formative assessments are used to improve instruction and provide feedback. Also, formative assessments are used throughout the lesson. This allows students to be able to know how they are doing with the material, and where they need to improve. Teachers can use formative assessments to check for students understanding of the lesson material. 

Summative assessments are used to measure students retention of the information/competency. These kinds of assessments are used at the end of each lesson. Summative assessments are used to gauge how students are doing in relation to the goals and benchmarks of the lesson/grade level. These allow for teachers to grade students and promote them to the next grade level. 

     Formative assessments help the teacher monitor student learning. They provide the teacher immediate feedback that teachers can use to adjust their delivery of a lesson or make other improvements to their teaching and/or curriculum. They also help students know what their strengths and weaknesses are.
     Summative assessments help the teacher evaluate student learning at the end of a unit or lesson. They are compared against a standard, and usually carry a high point value such as a midterm exam or final. Results are usually used to make adjustments in subsequent courses.

Looking at the resource video, formative assesment can confirm the effectiveness of educational strategies. Through verification, we provide enough feedback to understand and improve students' understanding. Summative assessments ensure that students have absorbed all of the topics and applications covered in the class. It is usually used in the process of finishing a sub-topic or entire module.

Formative Assessment: Assessments throughout a unit or class that allow the teacher can gauge a student’s learning.  These assessments allow teachers to adjust their teaching to help students learn better, or see what students might need extra help.
