As a teacher, you know that summative assessments are an important part of the learning process. They help you to measure student learning at the end of a unit or course, and they can be used to identify areas where students need additional support.
However, summative assessments can also be stressful for students. They may feel pressure to perform well, and they may not know what to expect.
That's where pre-summative "dry runs" come in. A pre-summative "dry run" is a practice test that is given to students before a summative assessment. It is used to help students prepare for the summative assessment and to identify areas where they need additional practice.
I can help you to create pre-summative "dry runs" for your students. I have a large database of summative assessments that you can use, and I can also help you to create custom practice tests that are aligned with your curriculum.
Here are some of the benefits of using pre-summative "dry runs":
- Help students to prepare for summative assessments. Pre-summative "dry runs" give students a chance to practice the material that will be covered on the summative assessment. This can help them to feel more confident and prepared on the day of the test.
- Identify areas where students need additional practice. Pre-summative "dry runs" can help you to identify areas where students need additional practice. This information can be used to adjust your instruction and to provide students with the support they need to succeed.
- Reduce stress for students. Pre-summative "dry runs" can help to reduce stress for students. They will know what to expect on the summative assessment, and they will have a chance to practice the material ahead of time.
