Assessment of Students’ Learning
Assessment Criteria Followed in Foundational Stage KG 1 To Grade 2
As part of Transforming Assessment for Student Development, the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 recommends preparation of Holistic Progress Card (HPC) to provide a 360-degree, multidimensional report that reflects in detail the progress as well as the uniqueness of each learner in the cognitive, affective, socio-emotional, and psycho motor domains. It will include self-assessment and peer assessment, and progress of the child in project-based and inquiry-based learning, quizzes, role plays, group work, portfolios along with teacher assessment and parents’ feedback. The progress card would also provide teachers and parents with valuable information on how to support each student in and out of the classroom. It gives an overall description of an individual’s performance over a period thus enabling teachers to identify the strengths, opportunities, barriers and skills or qualities that may be developed over a period.
Kindergarten (1 & 2)
There are no formal examinations for kindergarten. reports are prepared based on daily/ weekly/monthly observations and continuous class assessments.
There are two academic terms for reporting purposes. Term 1 and 2 respectively.
1. Monthly progress review – It is prepared based on the learning outcomes of each subject of that month. Monthly academic progress review is published at the end of each month.
The following grade descriptors are followed for the monthly progress review:
| Grade | Rubrics |
|---|---|
| Accomplished Skills (AS) | Has in-depth knowledge of concepts taught, applies them in a comprehensive way of learning, and uses skills self-sufficiently |
| Established Skills (ES) | Has detailed understanding of concepts taught, applies them in most learning situations and uses skills with partial support |
| Developing Skills (DS) | Has broad understanding of concepts taught, applies them in some learning situations and uses skills with support |
| Need Support (NS) | Has limited understanding of concepts taught, rarely apply them in different learning situations and constantly requires high level of support |
2. Term end report – Term report card is given at the end of each term.
The following grade descriptors are followed for the term end report:
| Grade | Rubrics |
|---|---|
| BEGINNER | Tries to achieve the competency and associated Learning outcomes with support from teachers. As he/ she has limited understanding of concepts taught, tries to apply them in some or different learning situations and uses skills with support or constantly requires high level of support |
| PROGRESSING | Has detailed achieves the competency and associated Learning outcomes with occasional or some support from teachers. he/she has a detailed understanding of concepts taught, applies them in most learning situations and uses skills with partial support |
| PROFICIENCY | Achieves the competency and associated Learning outcomes on his/ her own and has in-depth knowledge of concepts taught, applies them in a comprehensive way of learning, and uses skills self- sufficiently |
Grade 1 & 2
There are no formal examinations for grade 1 & 2. Reports are prepared based on continuous assessments done throughout the year. There are two types of reports given to students:
1. Monthly progress review – It is prepared based on the learning outcomes of each subject of that month. Monthly academic progress review is published at the end of each month. The monthly progress review is prepared based on the performance of CONCEPT RECAP (DIGITAL ASSESSMENTS). Concept Recaps are conducted as diagnostic and formative assessment. The goal of Concept recap is to monitor student learning and to provide ongoing feedback that can be used by teachers to improve their teaching and by students to improve their learning. Concept recaps are not part of the grading system to reflect learning that has occurred. Therefore, no weightage has been allocated to this component in the term End report. There is no provision of retest as digital assessments are conducted online and are time bound.
