Redo/Rewrite Procedure

St. Joseph High School believes that assessment is ongoing. Formative assessment, that is, those activities such as class-based and homework, are intended to inform learning and give feedback to students. Summative assessment aims to evaluate student learning and academic achievement.

“When the cook tastes the soup, that’s formative. When the guests taste the soup, that’s summative.”

Robert E. Stake, Professor Emeritus of Education at the University of Illinois
