Holistic assessment of learners involves an array of tools and assessments (self, peer and facilitator’s) to develop an accurate picture of the learners’ former and current aptitude and also maps the way to the desired skill levels. Holistic assessment has been found to be closely linked to improving the quality of teaching and learning as is can be used to measure progress against expected standards. The assessment tools are both diagnostic and criterion-referred. The character of the holistic assessment programme, ensures that the focus shifts from teacher-centric to learner-centric methodologies of both learning and evaluation.
In Prarambhika we use PACE to holistically evaluate our students on a continuous basis. Parents, teachers and students have real time access to all the assessment criteria and result, and their true significance.
