End of year summative assessments are an important moment for educators to pause and reflect on children’s learning across the year. These assessments provide an opportunity to capture children’s development, recognise their strengths, and communicate meaningful insights with families.

Yet many educators find this process challenging. Deciding what to include, how to summarise learning thoughtfully, and how to communicate children’s progress clearly can feel overwhelming.

This webinar supports educators to approach summative assessments with confidence and clarity. Rather than focusing on lengthy reports, the emphasis is on writing assessments that meaningfully reflect children’s learning, development, and experiences across the year.

Key ideas we will explore include:

• Understanding the purpose of end of year summative assessments
• Identifying children’s learning, strengths, and developmental progress across the year
• Writing clear and meaningful summaries that communicate learning effectively
• Linking children’s learning to observations, documentation, and curriculum frameworks

Because when summative assessments are thoughtful and authentic, they provide families with a meaningful picture of children’s growth and learning across the year.
