Balvatika: Laying the Foundation
Assessment needs to be a part of pedagogical practices and should be ‘on-the-go assessment’. Assessment will be based on the attainment of competencies leading to holistic development of all children. It will be done informally through continuous systematic observation of children’s participation in play and other activities. Efforts will be made to ensure that the age-specific expected learning outcomes for children in Balvatika are achieved by the end of the academic year. The experiences provided during the transaction of the curriculum will only be assessed. There should not be any paper-pencil tests and examinations in Balvatika.
Types of Assessment : There will be two types of assessment that are appropriate for Balvatika, i.e., observation of the child and analyzing the artifacts that the child has produced as a part of their learning experiences.In Balvatika, observation of the child’s behavior and responses during various play activities, e.g., through puzzles games, etc., will be done by the teachers.
Preparatory: Transitioning with Confidence (Grades 3 to 5)
Preparatory Stage
With the start of more formal learning across Curricular Areas, a robust system of formative assessment has been introduced to track progress of individual students. Formative assessment would act as an instructional tool to provide a comprehensive account of student learning.
At the Preparatory Stage, in addition to observation of students and analysis of artifacts created by students, a variety of formative oral and written assessments have been introduced.
These assessments would test conceptual understanding and Competencies, and would include questions that encourage creativity.
Assessments Emphasizing Experiential Learning and Hands-on Practices are also conducted to evaluate students’ engagement and growth in Co- Scholastic areas.
