Section 30(2) – Every child completing his elementary education shall be awarded a certificate, in such form and such manner, as may be prescribed. OBJECTIVES The students should be evaluated by the same teacher teaching them. Evaluation should be linked with the daily life activities. Evaluation should be carried out in interesting way and activity based. Every student admitted in the school should not be stagnated in particular class and his/her elementary education should get completed. OBJECTIVES To diminish examination stress/fear among the students. To ensure remedial teaching whenever required. To minimise burden of curriculum. To keep cumulative record of every student, in the prescribed format. To ensure coordination between evaluation process and curriculum.

SCHEME OF CCE Academic Aspect Co- curricular Aspect Personal and Social Qualities CLASSES 1ST AND 2ND In languages, teacher will assess: Listening Skills, Verbal Skills, Reading Skills and Writing Skills.

During teaching learning process, assessment of students in particular skills/competencies will be based on day to day observations. These will be recorded by the teacher by giving respective descriptive remarks as per rubrics every month in prescribed evaluation sheet. Comprehensive observations of six months i.e. April to September/ October to March will be reflected twice in the student’s CCE report card. Therefore, assessment of the child will be according to his/her own progress rather than being graded in comparison with other students of the class. There will be no ranking or marks. Remedial teaching will be provided to the children whenever required. CLASSES 3RD TO 5TH Hindi, English, EVS & Maths as per syllabus prescribed and assessment of particular skill in the subject will be based on observation by using following tools: Periodical test Work Book In languages i.e. Hindi & English, students will be assessed for: Listening Skills, Speaking Skills, Reading Skills, Writing Skills, Mathematics and EVS, students will be assessed for following competencies: Mathematics Conceptual Understanding Problem Solving EVS Recall and Recognition Conceptual Understanding In languages comprehension, understanding & writing ability will be assessed on the basis of written test taken bimonthly and assignments/ work done in workbook on monthly basis. Speaking skills, listening & reading skills will be assessed on the basis of various activities performed during teaching learning process in the classroom.

Teacher will record the achievements of student in particular skill either on the basis of test or assignments in respective months in prescribed evaluation sheet every month, in the form of descriptive remarks as per rubrics and suggestive measures. The comprehensive observations of six months for each skill/competency will be mentioned in the student’s CCE report card twice in an academic session.

Assessment of above subjects will be based on the following tools: Periodical Test Project Work Work Book PERIODICAL TEST The whole evaluation process is divided into two parts i.e. evaluation-I and evaluation-II. In each part, two periodical tests will be conducted by the teacher, one in each assessment cycle to assess the skills/competencies developed in the student. Each test will be based upon the skills and objectives having certain specific weightage: WEIGHTAGE Subject Languages Mathematics Science & Technology Social Science Skills/Objectives Knowledge Understanding Expression Knowledge Understanding Application Problem Solving Knowledge Understanding Analytical Numerical Diagrammatic Knowledge Understanding Diagrammatic Analytical Weightage 20% 40% 40% 20% 30% 20% 30% 20% 40% 20% 10% 10% 30% 50% 10% 10% Since the assessment of students is being done by the same teacher teaching them, therefore teacher should design the periodical test in such a manner that items included there in should cover the above mentioned objectives/ skills according to their weightage.
