The Assessment and Measurement Policy defines how we evaluate students’ academic achievements and development. ECOLE SCHOOLS implements a process-based assessment model that values individual differences and moves beyond traditional test-focused evaluations. This model monitors the student’s learning journey, supports their development, and provides guidance. Assessments focus on projects and ongoing progress, encouraging students to take responsibility for their learning and fostering lifelong learning habits.
1. Process-Based Assessment Model Instead of Outcome-Based
- The system respects individual learning paces and differences rather than enforcing a one-size-fits-all approach.
- It rejects the idea that students of the same age must learn at the same speed or in the same way.
- Students progress at their own learning speeds, with assessments tailored to their personal development.
- Evaluations are personalized based on each student’s strengths and interests.
- Every stage of the learning process is assessed rather than focusing only on final outcomes.
- Clear learning objectives and assessment criteria are shared with students.
- Students are evaluated on their curiosity, research abilities, questioning skills, perseverance, and self-discipline, both inside and outside the classroom.
- Mistakes are seen as a natural part of learning, helping students grow and refine their skills.
- Students compete with themselves, not others, ensuring evaluations are based solely on personal progress.
- The emphasis is on how much a student has improved over time rather than comparing them to peers.
- By clearly defining expectations, students are encouraged to take control of their learning.
- Success is measured based on individual strengths—not all students are expected to excel in every subject.
- Participation, interaction, and classroom performance are continuously observed.
- Problem-solving skills and teamwork competencies in both individual and group projects are recorded.
- Critical thinking, creativity, perseverance, and collaboration are assessed alongside academic development.
2. Stakeholder Participation and Peer Assessment
- A student’s progress is jointly assessed by the student, parent, and teacher mentor.
- Students present their work to a jury, which evaluates their progress.
- Guidance and mentorship are provided throughout the assessment process to ensure constructive support.
- Peer evaluations take place during presentations, group projects, and discussions.
- Students assess each other, helping to develop collaboration and social skills.
3. Portfolio Works
- Students compile a portfolio containing all their completed work.
- The portfolio includes projects, essays, artistic works, and other activities.
- Through portfolio reviews, students reflect on challenges faced and progress made.
- Portfolios serve as a tool to track long-term development and personal growth.
4. Contribution of Assessment to the Educational Process
- Assessments support learning, not just measure it.
- Teachers analyze results and adjust teaching strategies based on student needs.
- Flexible teaching approaches are applied to address students’ learning gaps.
- Assessment data helps provide extra support where needed.
- Continuous feedback is given to students, helping them recognize both their strengths and areas for improvement.
- Feedback is used to guide students in their ongoing learning journey.
