  Formative assessment  arigorous assessment process designed to identify potential and actual influences on the progress and effectiveness of implementation efforts.  Formative assessments are generally low stakes, which means that they have low or no point value. Examples of formative assessments include asking students to: draw a concept map in class to represent their understanding of a topic. submit one or two sentences identifying the main point of a lecture.

  Summative evaluation  Thegoal of summative assessment is to evaluate student learning at the end of an instructional unit by comparing it against some standard or benchmark.  Summative assessments are often high stakes, which means that they have a high point value. Examples of summative assessments include: a midterm exam. a final project.

  Process evaluation  Aprocess evaluation examines the extent to which a program is operating as intended by assessing ongoing program operations and determining whether the target population is being served.  A process evaluation focuses on the implementation process and attempts to determine how successfully the project followed the strategy laid out in the logic model.  a process evaluation focuses on the first three segments of the logic model (inputs, activities, outcome)

  Outcome evaluation  Outcomeevaluation is a method of determining how well a program achieved its objectives by measuring results. To ascertain how well a program achieved desired objectives, it is first important to have clearly defined objectives. Next, there must be a way to measure how well the objectives are being achieved.  Impact or outcome evaluations are undertaken when it is important to know whether and how well the objectives of a project or program were met. For example, outcome questions for a smoking cessation program might include: Did the program succeed in helping people to stop smoking?

  Impact evaluation  Impactevaluation is an assessment of how the intervention being evaluated affects. outcomes, whether these effects are intended or unintended.  What Are the Steps in Implementing an Impact Assessment?  Select the Project(s) to be Assessed.  Conduct an Evaluability Assessment.  Prepare a Research Plan.  Contract and Staff the Impact Assessment.  Carry out the Field Research and Analyze its Results.  Disseminate the Impact Assessment Findings.

  Program evaluation  Evaluationis the systematic application of scientific methods to assess the design, implementation, improvement or outcomes of a program  Program evaluation can include any or a variety of at least 35 different types of evaluation, such as for needs assessments, accreditation, cost/benefit analysis, effectiveness, efficiency, formative, summative, goal- based, process, outcomes, etc.
