The Programme at TENDER FEET ACADEMY does not follow any formal system of evaluation. There are NO tests, NO term-end assessments, NO final exams. However, for the purpose of implementation & on-going progress, the programme is divided into 2 terms –
The understanding of conceptual knowledge and application is assessed throughout the year, through informal and varied techniques, including –
- Oral conversation
- Anecdotal records
- Project submission
- Worksheets
- Developmental checklists
- Visual depiction
- Cross-class presentations
- Observation of social behaviour
- A comprehensive profile and
- ‘Funderstanding’ (Fun in Understanding-children choose the topic they enjoyed the most and teach it to the rest)
The academic assessment is essentially a Qualitative analysis of the students’ learning outcomes, tracked on a monthly basis on a Personal Skills Development sheet (PSD). This forms the basis of the TFA Reinforcement Programme - for students falling short of the minimum levels of learning (2 hours of one-to-one sessions on Saturdays).
The culmination of the student’s performance in each term is then reflected in the Term-wise Report Card, depicting the student’s attainment in the areas of – Language skills, Numeracy skills, Social skills, General Awareness, Visual & Performing arts, Co-curricular activities & special interests.
