Assessment Report
To identify and plan teaching strategies for individual children and to document their progress over time, the Pre-Primary Department of Ahlcon International School conducted their first Online Monthly Assessments for its Nursery and Prep students. The school is leaving no stone unturned in making virtual learning fun-filled and interactive for its students. Teachers planned innovative activities and provided children with range of experiences that further cultivates their curiosity and increases their desire to learn more. Pre-Primary teachers very well understand that every child is different and so are their needs. ‘One Size Fits All’ does not work in Ahlcon. Therefore, it became important for teachers to help and teach each Ahlconite specific to their learning style and academic needs. For this, assessments were planned which also helped the parents understand their child’s progress, strengths and challenges, and further plan activities that extend learning and development at home. These assessments were conducted on virtual platform for three consecutive days on a one to one basis where children were given individual time slots. Teachers elicited questions on different parameters like General Awareness,Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening skills, Phonemic Awareness, Spatial Perception, Logical Reasoning and Awareness of Pre-Number Concepts. It was amazing to see children answer these questions very confidently and even the shy ones felt comfortable and answered assertively. These assessments acted as building blocksand helped to guide the educators and parents in collaborating on the strategies to support their children.
