Guidelines:
Formative Assessment shall be conducted throughout the academic session as per School Based Assessment.
Any format can be used or developed for carrying out an assessment activity but it must include Learning Outcome,
Assessment technique and tool besides assessment activity.
A portfolio of the significant assessment activities which reflect the child’s progress throughout the academic session
shall be maintained by the teacher in collaboration with Parent/Caregiver and the Child.
Report of these significant assessment activities is to be maintained in the given format given at Table-2. Suggestive
Assessment Activity Format”.
Six recordings of these activities shall be reflected in the given Child’s Progress Table.
Portfolio of a child shall contain General Information, Significant Assessment Activities, Assessment Activity Reports
and Child’s Progress Table.
At the end of the academic session, achievement for all the learning outcomes, which Child’s Progress Table clearly
reflects, is to be quantified to marks out of 30.
Final achievement of a child for some learning outcome is to be considered for evaluation. For example, if child A in
Recording 1 got ‘Sky’ level and child B got ‘River’ level but in Recording 3, both the children got ‘Sky’ level for the
same learning outcome(s), they must be given same marks.

Formative Assessment
It occurs during, rather than after, the teaching-learning process as it has its primary focus on the ongoing
improvement of learning for all students.
(a) Assessment is school-based and integral to teaching-learning: For long, assessment has been
considered to be term-end or process-end activity believing that pressurizing and exposing children to
frequent examination and comparing them with the high achievers incites them to perform better. As a
school-based activity integrated with the teaching- learning, it helps in doing away with examination-
related fear, anxiety or trauma.
(b) Multiple evidence-based: As no single strategy of assessment is capable of providing complete information
about a child’s progress and learning, it needs to be multiple evidence-based to make it free from biases or
distortion. This requires tapping different sources to collect information as evidence.
(c) Assessing learning progress holistically: It includes assessment of all aspects of students’ personality,
i.e., knowledge, performance, skills, interests, dispositions and motivation using a range of activities that
the child participates in both inside and outside the classroom for making assessment comprehensive.
(d) Sensitive to individual learning needs: This requires identifying individual and specific needs of all children
(including those with special needs and from the marginalized groups). Teachers may design and use a range of
resources and activities suited to the learning needs (learning pace, style, level and other special needs or
required accommodations) of children and use the gathered information to address their needs. The teachers’
responses to the students’ needs are to be provided sensitively.
(e) Serves to observe changes in learning progress over time: Assessment for learning goes along with
the teaching-learning process in a continuous manner. The manner and modalities, however, may vary.
Teachers map the students’ progress on the processes of learning based on evidence collected using
information from individual or group tasks through self or peer assessments. Observations of changes
taking place in the children’s learning progress are made on a continuous basis that are recorded as per
the needs to develop the profiles of children.
(f) Helps teacher review and modify the teaching-learning: It helps the teacher to probe what a child
can or cannot do and explore the reasons behind the learning gaps. After understanding the students, their
level of learning and the reason behind gaps, the teacher may adopt or adapt her/his teaching-learning to
intertwine this correctional review with the instruction to regulate it to help children progress and improve
their learning.
(g) Helps to address learning gaps: After observing the gaps and determining the possible causes, the
teacher needs to build logical connections between the existing and the new knowledge. This requires
teachers to give children feedback that is specific, timely and clearly stated to scaffold their learning so as
to improve it further.
Appx. 14 of 15
Assessment as Learning
(a) Collaborative and participatory approach: The approach involves students as partners in planning,
transaction and assessment of the teaching-learning process and thus, includes giving and receiving feedback by
both students and teachers. It fosters healthy teacher-pupil and pupil- pupil relationships through teacher-
supported, peer and group learning. It encourages active engagement of students in the process of teaching-
learning and assessment to enhance learning by providing an opportunity for dialogue and feedback between
teacher and student. Involving children by giving more and more opportunities in planning, conducting and
evaluating different tasks, helps build skills of self and peer assessment among them which, in turn, reduces
teachers’ burden to a large extent. Children facilitate them by taking responsibility of assessing their own work,
their peers’ work and promote collaborative learning by helping each other learn. Help from parents or guardians
can be sought in this process as they can also contribute meaningfully towards the progress of their wards.
(b) Helps children seek resources of knowledge: Assessment as learning builds capacity of students to
absorb new ideas and place them in larger contexts, evaluate their own and their peers’ work
against well-defined criteria or learning goals. This helps students build skills for learning in their
lives. It also occurs during teaching-learning process. After identifying their strengths and gaps in
learning, children themselves may plan and make efforts to look for the suitable resources to seek
further knowledge in order to address the gaps or further move on to enhance their learning.
Opportunities for self and peer- assessment and reflection, provided regularly during the process of
assessment for learning, allows children to reflect, build connections between past and new learning,
critique their own work and seek resources for new knowledge and, thus, take self- corrective
measures to learn and progress.
(c) Building skills of learning to learn among children: Out of the three purposes of assessment,
‘Assessment as Learning’, helps imbibe skills of learning to learn and lifelong learning among children
and, therefore, is the most crucial component of assessment under SBA. Helping students understand
their own learning to develop appropriate strategies for learning to learn and seek resources to
enhance themselves, fosters child’s self- confidence and helps develop abilities for lifelong learning,
which is one of the prime goals of education.
