What is Summative Assessment?

4

Many assessments can be used for both summative and formative purposes. But some are more suited for summative purposes than formative purposes.

It all depends on how the

results

are used. Slide3

What is Summative Assessment?

2

Formative assessment is used to improve instruction and learning

Interim assessments are used to

Predict summative results

Warn of learning deficits

identify achievement gaps

Summative assessments are used to render final judgmentsSlide4

Summative Assessments

Can Inform Instructional Practices

6

Summative assessment can also inform instructional practices in a different yet equally important way as formative assessment. Slide7

Summative Assessment:

Continuous Progress Monitoring

7

Summative assessments can also be used with continuous progress-monitoring systems because they allow teachers to track students throughout a school year and, ideally, over an entire academic career, from kindergarten through high school. Slide8

Summative Assessments Must

be of the Highest Quality Possible

8

Every educator should be concerned that the summative assessments which are part of the assessment system used in their classroom, school, district, and state are of the highest quality possible. Slide9

Validity defines the quality

of education assessment

9

The simple definition of validity is that a test measures what it is supposed to measure. But validity also means that an assessment provides sound information supporting the purpose of the assessment. So an assessment whose scores have a high degree of validity for one purpose may have little validity for another. Slide10

Valid Summative Assessments

10

For a summative assessment to be valid it must:

Be aligned with district and school learning

Provide reliable information

Be fair, unbiased, and accessible

Be instructionally sensitive

Have high utility

Provide useful informationSlide11

Summative Assessment Must be Aligned

11

A summative assessment

aligned

with school learning goals and intended purposes precisely measures the intended learning targets for the curriculum being taught at that grade level.

An

aligned

summative assessment measures the learning goals so that the

results

accurately determine what school officials wanted to know about student mastery. Slide12

Summative Assessment

Must be Reliable to Have

V

alidity

12

If the test’s results have no reliability the test has

no validity

.

An unreliable summative test will diminish the usefulness of the results.

It is important to understand that

reliability is

critical

to an effective summative assessment of student learning. Slide13

Summative Assessment has to

be Fair, Unbiased and Accessible

13

Generally a summative assessment can be biased if a group of students is offended or unfairly penalized on the basis of personal characteristics such as gender, religion, race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. Slide14

14

In a presentation at the 2007 annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association, Dr. W. James

Popham

explained:

“A test’s

instructional sensitivity

represents the degree to which students’ performances on that test accurately reflect the quality of instruction specifically provided to promote students’ mastery of whatever is being assessed.” Slide15

15

A summative assessment of student knowledge and skill is useful when it accurately measures students’ mastery of the curricular aim being assessed

Good summative assessment indicates instructional quality, mastery of content standards, and supplies accurate accountability evidenceSlide16

Summative assessments support instruction, because they are usually an important part of a grade. Students and parents do care about gradesSlide20

Classroom Summative Assessments

Provide Valuable Information

20

Compared with state and district tests, teacher-designed classroom summative assessments are more immediately available and their learning targets have been more recently taught.Slide21

Use Test Banks from Published

Material with Great Caution

21

Carefully designed common or textbook provided unit tests can provide high quality summative assessments

However, test banks from published material should be used with great caution because they may use different grammar or syntax than the teacher used to teach

Standards and examples may not agree with the teacher’s methods of explaining themSlide22

22

If the summative test items are matched to the intended learning targets, teachers can guide students in examining their right and wrong answers in order to answer questions such as:

What are my strengths relative to the standards?

What have I seen myself improve?

Where are my areas of weakness?

Where didn't I perform as desired, and how might I make those answers better?

What do these results mean for the next steps in my learning, and how should I prepare for improvement? Slide23

Grades Determined by Summative

23

Grades can be produced by ten or fewer quality summative assessments.

The student should be well prepared for summative assessment as a result of participation in the formative assessment process.Slide24

Four Recommendations to

Determine More Reliable Grades

27

Recommendation 1:

Get rid of the omnibus or single letter grade.

 

Recommendation 2:

If you can't get rid of the omnibus grade, provide scores on measurement topics in addition to the grade.

 

Recommendation 3:

Expand the assessment options available to students.

 

Recommendation 4:

Allow students to continually update their scores on previous measurement topics.Slide28
