Assessments

EXAMINATIONS AND EVALUATIONS

Evaluation in KPES is about understanding, enabling and recording the progress made by each child. It is about giving due importance to the processes of learning and the relationships that emerge from educational experiences – be it with books, friends, the content of what is studied, music, art, science, the teacher and the ability to question further. Like the myriad influences of the school, evaluation at KPES is also a source of inspiration and learning, and not a time for judgement and fear. Evaluation practices in KPES grow in complexity, thought and engagement of all key partners (the child, the teacher and the parents) with class and age levels. Evaluation involves six key steps. At each step, students, teachers and parents share the progress made and work as partners to develop goals for the next semester.

Teacher's Observations

Teacher's observations are critical in every classroom setting, at every age level. Teachers observe children’s interest areas, group participation, interpersonal dynamics, development of skills, completion of work, regularity in submissions, and desire for continued learning. These observations inform curricular transactions and help formulate evolving goals for the group and each child.
