Jen sums up:
Off the top of my head…can I just define “formative” as everything I do daily? And then “summative” is where I see them trending at the end of each quarter? Would that make sense in my system? The problem with this, for how I see most kids now, is that if everything were formative, they would not follow the rules / ISA etc. because “it’s just formative.” Like, they weigh whether they will even participate based on whether it’s formative or summative. So I am often tempted to call everything summative, but that would likely attract undue parent / admin attention? Thoughts?
