Evaluations & Professional Development
Step 5: Summative Evaluation
-
A summative evaluation occurs at the end of an evaluation cycle and provides feedback that informs an educator’s practice, showing where s/he stands relative to standards and goals, and what s/he can work on next. The formative assessment and the summative evaluation use the same format in the Educator Development and Feedback System, however, a summative evaluation has implications for an educator’s next evaluation cycle.
