Holistic Assessment

Mrs Ratna

Holistic Assessment

Assessment

• Is an important part of learning

• Helps provide useful information to your

child, your child’s teachers and yourself

as parents

As parents, this information is useful

feedback to help you support your

child’s learning and growth

Holistic Assessment

• Aims to build students’ confidence and desire to

learn with rich information on their learning

progress

• Refers to the ongoing gathering of information

on different facets of students from various

sources

• Provides quantitative & qualitative feedback to

support & guide the child‘s development

o Quantitative feedback: grades and marks

o Qualitative feedback: teacher comments

Formative Assessment

(Non-Weighted)

• Involves students in their own learning

• Involves students in self-assessment and peer assessment

• Helps students learn about their strengths, weaknesses and

steps they could take to improve in their learning

• Believes that every student can improve

Summative Assessment

(Weighted)

• Provides report on students’ level of achievement of

learning objectives

• Marks obtained are counted towards the overall results at

the end of the year

• From terms 2 to 4, the percentage of the weighted

assessments for each subject adds up to 100%

Holistic Assessment @ Anderson

• A range of appropriate assessment modes for

different purposes in bite-sized forms:

o mini-tests, short writing, performance tasks

• Places less emphasis on single-point assessment

• Provides students with more opportunities to

experience success and build their confidence and

desire to learn

OE

We were at the Jurong Bird Park. Our teacher took us to a

special place called the ‘World of Darkness’. There was a

large cave where we could see many kinds of night animals

like owls and bats.

The owls and bats were flying around in the cave. The

teacher explained that these birds hunted at night when it

was dark. We felt excited but we were also a little afraid.

“I think we should all stay close together,” said Matin. Some

of us held hands and we were less afraid after that.

After watching how the night animals lived in the ‘World of

Darkness’, we walked through a mini forest. It was dark and

quiet.

After visiting the mini forest, we returned to school. It was an

exciting experience. Now we know how night animals live in

their world of darkness and what a forest looks like.
