Effective assessment and evaluation are integrated into all aspects of the curriculum, providing both teachers and students with relevant and useful data to gauge progress and determine the effectiveness of materials and procedures. • When we assess our individual students, we gather information about their level of performance or achievement. • Effective assessment is a continuous process. It's not simply something that's done at the conclusion of a unit of study or at the end of a lesson.

SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT(SA) • IS Term End Examination • Curriculum and syllabus as circulated by the board • Question papers to be prepared by schools as per the CBSE format and have to be only from the Question Bank to be sent by CBSE. • Exam to be conducted by schools • Evaluation of Answer scripts to be done within the school.

15. WHAT DO WE MEAN BY TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES? • An Evaluation tool is----- a means of appraisal scientifically designed to evaluate or measure what is required to be evaluated or measured. • Techniques of Evaluation are---- the tests and other items used for measuring growth in particular outcomes of learning.

16. THREE LEVELS OF INTERPRETATION With reference to to the learner himself /herself and the current status of progress. To identify the status of the learner with reference to his /her peer group ( Percentile rank) With reference to the criteria I.e. the expected level of learning keeping in view the required skills.

17. WHY ARE TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES REQUIRED? • To gather information. • They should be valid, reliable and usable. • Interpretation of gathered information has to be in numerical scores, grades as well as in qualitative terms. • Judgement should be made on Scholastic as well as Co-scholastic aspects.

18. EVALUATION TOLS • Techniques are the tests and other items used for measuring growth in particular learning outcomes. • Tools are the instruments used for measuring learning outcomes like QUESTION PAPERS, OBSERVATION SCHEDULES,RATING SCALE, CHECK-LISTS etc. • ‘Observation is a Technique whereas Checklist is a Tool’. • Keep the following in mind while using a tool—Balance, Objectivity, Relevance, Fairness, Speed, Validity, reliability, Discrimination.

21. What is classroom assessment? • Classroom assessment is both a teaching approach and a set of techniques. The approach is that the more we know about what and how students are learning, the better we can plan learning activities to structure our teaching. The techniques are mostly simple, non-graded, anonymous, in-class activities that give both we and our students useful feedback on the teaching-learning process.

22. How do We use Classroom Assessment Techniques? • Decide what you want to learn from a classroom assessment. • Choose a Classroom Assessment Technique (CAT) that provides this feedback, is consistent with your teaching style, and can be easily implemented in your class. • Explain the purpose of the activity to students, then conduct it.

23. CAT • After class, review the results and decide what changes, if any, to make. • Let your students know what you learned from the CAT and how you will use this information.

24. OBSERVATION • Information can be collected about children in ‘Natural’ Settings. • Various aspects of personality development can be assessed through Observation. • Individuals as well as groups can be assessed during varying Time-Periods. • ‘ On the spot Record’ can be maintained which over a period of time can give a comprehensive picture of the child. • Take down more than what is seen . Do not jump at conclusions.

25. ENGLISH ( eg. Debate) Does the child have appropriate knowledge of the content? Does he put forth an argument convincingly? Is he able to contradict a point? Does he speak fluently with proper diction and pronunciation? Does he take criticism positively? SOCIAL-SCIENCE(eg. Gr.Dis.) Does the child exhibit leadership qualities? Does he have content knowledge? How well can he put forth his views? Doeshe show respect to the peer group? Does he have proper communication skills? CHECKLIST FOR OBSERVATION

26. PROJECTS • Undertaken over a period of time, they involve collection,analysis,Organization,and Interpretation of data. • Provide opportunities to explore and work with ones hands. • Develops a positive attitude towards group work,sharing and learning from each other. • Difficulty level of the projects to be according to the age level of students- to do it themselves. • Materials to be available in school, neighbourhood or home– Resource centre in the school.

27. SCIENCE Does the child have an understanding of the content? Is it relevant? Is the project based on Experimentation or survey or case study? Has the result been interpreted properly? Is the work applicable to real life situations. MATHEMATICS Is the approach towards project original? Is the presentation of the project done aesthetically? Is it supportedwith proper write-up? Is the content of the project accurate,authentic and relevant? CHECKLISTS FOR PROJECTS

28. QUESTIONS • An excellent way to find out what children know, think, imagine and feel--- • A good question should be---- • Objective based • With specific instructions • Indicating he limit and scope of answer • In clear and precise language • Keeping in view the level of the students • Able to discriminate between bright students and others

29. Key/Check List Single Double Type of Questions for Formative & Summative assessment Type of Questions for Formative & Summative assessment Matching Type Multiple Choice Type Alternative Response Type Incomplete Statement Right/Wrong Question Form True/False Yes/ No Fill in the blank Matrix

30. CHECKLISTS • An excellent way of finding , recording specific behaviour,action, outcomes,problem and helps to focus on particular aspects of evaluation. • It is quick and easy to implement. • Can point towards a trend of how and when skills have been acquird by the child as well as a group of children. • ‘COMMENTS’column may be added to add value to the information.

31. THINKING SKILLS Does the student show creativity during class activities? Gives new ideas and concepts? Asks questions related to the set tasks? Tries to help and motivate others during group activity? Tries to apply knowledge and skills in new situations? SOCIAL SKILLS Does he show patience during a set task? Always likes to be apprciated? Maintains a comfortable level of eye contact? Breaks rules for the task by using rude language? Exhibits negative behaviour? CHECKLIST FOR ASSESSING LIFE SKILLS

32.
