Educators face some tough challenges when it comes to balancing two types of assessments: summative and formative assessments.

Let's break it down:

1. Time Limits: Teachers often have limited time to give both types of assessments. This can make it hard to really evaluate student progress.

2. Lack of Resources: Sometimes schools don’t have enough resources to effectively carry out formative assessments.

3. Training Issues: Many teachers haven’t received the right training to use formative assessments properly.

Here are some solutions:

• Focus on a simpler way to include formative assessments in daily lessons. This can help ease the workload on teachers.
• Offer training for teachers to improve their assessment skills.
• Use technology to help collect and analyze data. This can make it easier to balance both types of assessments.
