Abstract

This article follows from the companion article ‘Making Summative Assessments Meaningful at the Preparatory Stage’ and throws light on how preparatory-stage teachers can design meaningful summative assessments that are age-appropriate, low stake, and aligned with the developmental needs of the children. It presents three sample strategies, with some suggested tools for assessment. Strategy 1 is an exploration task on measurement which can be assessed using a rating scale. Strategy 2 is a project which integrates spatial reasoning with art and is assessed using rubrics. Strategy 3 is a form of demonstration task to assess geometric reasoning with a self-assessment checklist. These strategies can complement written tests to make summative assessments more meaningful and comprehensive. This approach also provides a joyful and stress-free learning environment for the children.
