3. Summative assessment is a high-stakes type of
assessment for the purpose of making final judgments
about student achievement and instructional
effectiveness.
By the time summative assessment occurs, students
have typically exited the learning mode. Summative
assessment forms an end point that sums up the
performance or learning level of achievement.
The evaluation of summative assessments provides a
look at student performance as well as an opportunity
to evaluate instructional practices.
Examples of summative assessment include but are
not limited to:
Chapter/Unit tests
Projects
Performances
Final copies
