Research on Classroom Summative Assessment
235 Assessment is unquestionably one of the teacher s most complex and important tasks. What teachers assess and how and why they assess it sends a clear message to students about what is worth learning, how it should be learned, and how well they are expected to learn it. As a result of increased influences from external high stakes tests, teachers are increasingly working to align their CAs with a continuum of benchmarks and standards, and students are studying for and taking more CAs. Clearly, high-stakes external tests shape much of what is hap-pening in classrooms (Clarke, Madaus, Horn, & Ramos, 2000). Teachers design assessments for a variety of purposes and deliver them with mixed results. Some bring students a sense of success and fairness, while others strengthen student per-ceptions of failure and injustice. Regardless of their intended purpose, CAs directly or indirectly influence students future learning, achievement, and motivation to learn.
tive summative CA practices can occur, there-fore, without clarifying the tensions between those practices and the assessment competencies of classroom teachers. Teachers have primary responsibility for designing and using summa-tive assessments to evaluate the impact of their own instruction and gauge the learning progress of their students.
