This collection features resources to assist teachers with summative assessment. A variety of tools are provided to assist teachers in developing summative assessments. Please note that students must be involved in the assessment process from the very beginning. The learning outcome and goals should be shared, along with the success criteria so that students know exactly what is expected of them along the journey.
Summative assessment is assessment OF learning. Teachers gather information about a student's learning and make judgements about the quality using success criteria. It is important that students are also involved in this process and that they engage in active reflection about their learning.

*was created to support the teaching and learning of mathematics. It can be adapted by teachers to meet the individual needs of their students.
*can be used before, during and/or after classroom instruction as formative or summative assessment(s).
*is designed to elicit responses that inform teachers’ understanding of the skills and concepts that students need to know, understand and are able to do.

Indicators that include terms such as research or collect data (for example) are ideally assessed by means other than a written response. Subsequently, teachers must keep in mind that using this resource provides only one of many forms of evidence that teachers collect to report on student achievement of the outcome.
Each resource includes the outcome, indicators, sample assessment and answer key.

Background:
The Education Sector Strategic Plan (ESSP) is a multi-year (2014-2020), province-wide plan developed collaboratively by the Deputy Minister of Education, the
Assistant Deputy Ministers, provincial school division directors of education, and First Nation Education Authority representatives. The ESSP outlines several outcomes. ( http://www.education.gov.sk.ca/educations-strategic-sector-plan-matrix-2014-2020)
The ESSP outcome that underpins the development of the writing rubrics is “By June 2020, 80% of students will be at grade level or above in
reading, writing, and math.”
Outcome owners directed a group of educators from divisions and First Nations Authorities to create holistic, four-level writing rubrics, Grades 1–12, with levels 3 and 4 being at grade level. The result of that work is the attached rubrics.
Content:
The holistic writing rubrics are available for all grades, and teachers are encouraged to use the rubrics at all grade levels. However, provincial
reporting of writing at grade level will be done for Grades 4, 7, and 9 only. Provincial reporting on writing (Grades 4, 7, 9) will be done once, at
the end of the school year.
"Saskatchewan Reads is a companion document to the English Language Arts Grades 1, 2, and 3 curricula. It was created based on sound research, specifically in reading, focusing on instructional approaches, assessment and intervention. Some of the key authors referenced include; Allington, Miller, Fountas and Pinnell, Davies, Cooper, Fisher & Frey to name a few. Furthermore, it showcases the diversity of promising practises that have proven successful in school divisions and First Nations communities within Saskatchewan. Some examples include: Picture Word Inductive Model (PWIM), Reader’s Workshop, Balanced Literacy, Scaffolded/Guided Reading, Levelled Literacy Intervention and Running Records along with many others across the province.
The intent of Saskatchewan Reads is to provide a framework for school divisions and systems to build their own reading initiative that meets the needs of their unique student population. This document provides practical supports to teachers as they ensure their students are successful. It is intended to develop increased capacity at the school and system level with respect to improving student reading. The online version of Saskatchewan Reads saskatchewanreads.wordpress.com will be evergreen with live links and video of examples to clearly illustrate the many promising practices within Saskatchewan. The intent of the online version is to bring Saskatchewan Reads alive.
The motivation to create Saskatchewan Reads came from the need to improve student reading in this province as outlined in the Premier’s vision document, “Saskatchewan Plan for Growth: Vision 2020 and Beyond”. All 28 school boards in the province and the Government of Saskatchewan approved the development and deployment of Saskatchewan Reads.
Several Saskatchewan publications, along with documents from other provinces, were referenced when creating Saskatchewan Reads. As a result of this work, and more importantly, the skill and talent of our teachers in this province, our students will become proficient readers."
