- Summative and formative are two categories of teacher evaluation.
- Experts suggest that the evaluation be done several different times during the evaluation period instead of relying on a single visit to a teacher's classroom.
- Experts also recommend that in a pre-evaluation conference (administrator and teacher discuss the evaluation process)
- Summative and formative teacher evaluation are both necessary, but need to be seperate. Formative evaluation is more likely to lend to the improvement of instruction.
