Assessment for learning: Assessment for learning is formative, and involves both teachers and students in ongoing dialogue, descriptive feedback, and reflection throughout instruction. Assessment of learning: Assessment of learning is summative, and involves determining the quality of the learning that has taken place at the end of a unit or theme, term, semester, or school year.
