1.
GOOD ASSESSMENT
Use a variety of ways to collect information about the learners learning and progress in all subjects. Collect information continuously and record the same. Give importance to each learners way of responding and learning and time it takes to do so. Report on a continuous basis and be sensitive to every learners response. Provide feedback that will lead to positive action and help the learner to do better

CAUTION ! IN ASSESSMENT
Dont label learners as slow, poor, intelligent etc.. Dont make comparisons between them. Dont make negative statements.

WHY CONTINUOUS COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION ? External Examinations are largely inappropriate for the knowledge society of the 21st century and its need for innovative problem solvers.
Evaluation of Scholastic learning only on marks. Ability of child not evaluated. Limited Techniques of Evaluation do not identify learners level of attainment. Resulting in Pass/Fail. Causing frustration and humiliation .

(a)Objectives Of CCE
To develop cognitive, psychomotor and affective skills To lay emphasise on thought process and de-emphasise memorization To make evaluation an integral part of teaching-learning process To use evaluation for improvement of students achievement and teaching-learning strategies on the basis of regular diagnosis followed by remedial instructions To use evaluation as a quality control device to maintain desired standard of performance To make the process of teaching and learning a learner-centered activity
(b)FEATURES OF CCE

38
The Check list uses a four level rating scale as noted below
(i) Expert
4-
(ii) Proficient 3 -
A truly outstanding teaching that meets very demanding criteria The Proficient level describes solid, expected professional performance; teachers should feel good about scoring at this level. Indicates that performance has real deficiencies and nobody should be content to remain at this level. Unacceptable performance and needs to be improved immediately.
39
The checklist are designed to give teachers an end-of-the-year assessment of where they stand in all performance areas and detailed guidance on how to improve. Regular, un-announced mini-observations followed by face-to-face conversations are the best way for principals to have an accurate sense of teachers performance, give formative praise and suggestions and listen to push-back. This creates a clear graphic display of overall performance areas for commendation and areas that need work.
40
Evaluation conferences are greatly enhanced if the principal and teacher should aim for consensus based on actual performances. Principals should go into the evaluation process with some humility and teacher should be open to feed back from some one with an outside perspective.
