Summative assessments are more than end-point reflections—they’re storytelling tools that honour each child’s journey. They help educators celebrate growth, identify emerging skills, and co-plan intentional next steps. This guide is designed for quick glances during documentation, team huddles, or family meetings, keeping your language strengths-based, specific, and emotionally resonant.

Use it to:

• Anchor your observations in EYLF outcomes
• Spark rich conversations with families and colleagues
• Guide intentional planning that supports each child’s unique trajectory
