Summative evaluation is an assessment or measure of effectiveness at the end of a time period.
Any activities that show evidences of effectiveness may be included. Report cards, standardized testing, parent surveys, and formal evaluations are examples. Summative evaluation activities also determine the effectiveness of the program in terms of outcomes. Evidence of program effectiveness can be gathered from standardized testing, Duke Talent Search, academic contests, previous Javits evaluations, and former student evaluations. One aspect is individual assessment.
