Assessment

Prepared by SUMERA SAEED

Summative Assessment is conducted at the end of the term.

If we think of our children as plants …

Summative assessment of the plants is the process of

simply measuring them. It might be interesting to compare and

analyze measurements but, in themselves, these do not affect

the growth of the plants.

Formative assessment, on the other hand, is the

equivalent of feeding and watering the plants appropriate to

their needs - directly affecting their growth.
