Goal 2 of my professional devlopment plan.

On the professional development plans we submitted online, I said by "February 11th I would be able to define formative and summative assements" also, how I researched these terms and an example of each.

So I used the infamous Google Search to research these terms.
-Formative assements are assesing the formation of a particular student. Teachers study and watch how a certain student interacts with the faculty, other students, how the complete their work, how the ask and answer questions, and over all behavior. Studies the formation a student has for learning.
For example; A teacher observes how Student A and Student B interact within their group project, noting that Student A takes on the role of a leader and Student B questions the other group members and the way the go about solving issues.

-Summative Assements are assesments of the learning and summarizes the development of learners at a particular time. It is an assessment of learning.
For example; A teacher teaches for a week period on a certain subject then tests their students on the material, gaining the summative assessment of what the class has learned.
