A real exchange (formative vs summative assessment in the IB MYP):
In the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), assessment is criterion-related and designed to support learning while measuring achievement against subject-specific criteria. Key Differences — Purpose: formative is assessment FOR learning (ongoing feedback to adjust strategies); summative is assessment OF learning (evaluates achievement against the criteria at the end). Timing: formative occurs throughout a unit; summative at the conclusion. Feedback and Grading: formative gives descriptive feedback, often without final grades; summative results in achievement levels (0–8 per criterion) that contribute to the final MYP grade. Classroom Examples — Formative: in an Individuals & Societies unit on "Globalisation and Trade," the teacher provides written feedback on Criterion B and C on a source analysis; students revise before the final task. Summative: at the end of the same unit, students write a 600-word essay assessed against all four MYP criteria (A–D), with achievement levels reported to students and parents.
