Creative Learning

The learning management system will effectively enable Formative Assessments (called SADHANA), Summative Assessments (called SODHANA), and Benchmark Assessments (called SAMAGRA).

  • SADHANA (Formative Assessments) The primary purpose of Sadhana assessment is to provide ongoing feedback during the learning process for students in grades 6 to 12. It helps teachers and students to identify strengths and weaknesses in real-time, allowing for immediate adjustments to instruction. Sadhana assessments focus on understanding students' current level of understanding and provide insights into how to improve their learning. Feedback is provided quickly, allowing students to make adjustments promptly. It is often more descriptive and focuses on improvement. Sadhana assessments are typically low-stakes, meaning they should not be used to grade students. The subjects covered are: English, Science, Mathematics for grades 6 to 10. However, for Grades 11 & 12, subjects covered are: English, Chemistry, Physics and electives like Mathematics, Biology or Bio-technology. The assessments are done once a Month, preferably at the end of the month. The syllabus covered in the assessment is limited to what was taught in the previous month.
  • SODHANA (Summative Assessments) The primary purpose of Sodhana assessment is to evaluate and measure the overall learning outcome at the end of an instructional period for students in grades 6 to 12. Sodhana assessments focus on assigning grades or determining the level of achievement reached by students. Feedback may be provided, but it is often less detailed and more focused on the overall performance. Sodhana assessments contribute significantly to the final grade, providing a comprehensive measure of a student's achievement. The subjects covered are: English, Science, Mathematics for grades 6 to 10. However, for Grades 11 & 12, subjects covered are: English, Chemistry, Physics and electives like Mathematics, Biology or Bio-technology. The assessments are done 3 times in a year, Quarterly, Half Yearly and Annual. The syllabus covered in the assessment includes all materials covered until time of the assessment.

  • BEE COMPETITION

    The Vocabulary tests are for children in grades 2-9 and are split into two levels Junior & Intermediate. Junior is for 2nd to 5th grade, and Intermediate is for 6th to 9th grades.

    The Spelling Bees are for children in grades 2-9 and are split into two levels Junior and Senior. Junior is for 2nd to 5th grade students, Senior is for 6th to 9th grade students.

    The Math Bee is aimed at nurturing mathematical skills at three levels MB1, MB2, and MB3 for grades 2 to 9. MB1 is for 2nd to 4th grade, MB2 is for 5th and 6th grades, MB3 is for 7th to 9th grades.

    The Science Bee contest is aimed at nurturing the interest and understanding of Science at three levels JSC, ISC, and SSC for grades 2 to 9. JSC is for 2nd to 4th grade, ISC is for 5th and 6th grades, SSC is for 7th to 9th grades.

  • SAMAGRA (Benchmark Assessments) The primary purpose of Samagra assessment is to evaluate and measure the student performance against established standards or benchmarks, to determine strengths and weaknesses compared to similar cohorts for students in grades 3 to 5. Samagra assessments focus on evaluating entry-level academic literacy and mathematics skills, correlation between entry-level skills and school-level exit results, quantitative and aptitude analysis. Feedback is provided to the institutions about the admissions and placement of entry-level students; information on baseline, mid or endline performance. Samagra assessments are typically low-stakes, meaning they should not be used to grade students. The subjects covered are: English, Environmental Sciences & Mathematics. Assessments are done once in a year or at the beginning/ middle/end of the year. Overall, grade-specific syllabus is covered in the assessment.

    Some of the benefits of these Contests are:

    Feeling a sense of accomplishment

    Building self-confidence and self-esteem

    Learning new concepts

    Improving communication skills

    Improving listening skills

    Developing discipline

    Setting goals and meeting them

    Competing against one’s own ability, not against others

    Enjoying better challenges at young age

    Recognizing that hard work leads to success more so than just innate intelligence
