5. Assessment Methodology:
We recommend a No-Examination Policy for pre-primary children. Evaluation should be continuous and stress-free:
- Observational Checklists: Monthly tracking of social, emotional, and motor milestones.
- Portfolio Assessment: Maintaining a folder of the child’s drawings, worksheets, and craftwork.
- Anecdotal Records: Notes on how a child interacts, solves problems, and behaves in groups.
- Termly Progress Reports: Qualitative feedback provided to parents focusing on growth rather than marks.
