Methodological recommendations for Summative Assessment are designed to assist
teachers in planning, organizing and carrying out Summative Assessment in “English” for
the Grade 1 learners. Methodological recommendations are aligned with the Subject
Programme and Course plan. Summative Assessment in Grade 1 is conducted in Terms 3
and 4.
Summative Assessment Tasks for unit/cross curricular unit will allow teachers to
determine the level of the learning objectives achievement planned for the term.
Methodological recommendations comprise tasks, assessment criteria with descriptors
and marks for conducting Summative Assessment across the unit/cross curricular unit.
Also this document includes possible levels of the learners’ academic achievement
(rubrics). Tasks with descriptors and marks can be considered as recommendations.
Summative Assessment Specification with mark scheme is suggested for conducting
at the end of the term. It is standardized and is obligatory to adhere to for conducting
Summative Assessment for the term.
Methodological recommendations are designed for primary school teachers, school
administrations, educational departments’ seniors, regional and school coordinators in
criteria-based assessment and others.



Free access to the Internet resources such as pictures, cartoons, photos, texts, video
and audio materials, etc. have been used in designing these Methodological
recommendations.

5.Administration rules
During the Assessment cover all visual materials like, diagram, schemes, posters
and maps that can serve as prompts for the learners.
At the beginning of the Assessment read out the instructions and inform the
learners about the assessment duration. Remind learners that they are not allowed to talk
with each other during the Summative Assessment. After the instructions, make sure they
have understood given instructions and ask if they have any queries before the start of the
assessment.
Ensure that the learners are working individually and not helping each other. During
the Summative Assessment learners should not have any access to additional recourses
that can help them, for example, dictionary, calculator (excluding the cases when it is
allowed in specification)
Recommend learners to cross the wrong answers instead of using an eraser.
During the assessment you can answer learners’ questions, regarding the
instructions and the assessment duration. You should not spell, paraphrase or provide any
information that could give the learner an advantage.
Always tell the learners that they have 5 minutes left before the end of the
Summative Assessment.
Tell the students to stop writing and put down their pens/pencils on the desks
at the
end of the Summative Assessment.
6. Moderation and marking
All teachers use the same version of the mark scheme. During the moderation
process it is necessary to check learner sample papers with the marks awarded to ensure there are no deviations from the standardized mark scheme.
