Evaluation of Scholastic Aspect in classes VI to VIIIThe weightage of Formative Assessment (FA) and Summative Assessment (SA) shall be as follows:TermType of AssessmentPercentage of weightage in academic sessionTerm wise WeightageTotalFIRST TERM(April-Sept)Formative Assessment 110Formative Assessment 1+2= 20Formative Assessment1+2+3+4= 40Summative Assessment1+2= 60Total= 100Formative Assessment 210Summative Assessment 130Summative Assessment 1= 30SECOND TERM(Oct-March)Formative Assessment 310Formative Assessment 3+4= 20Formative Assessment 410Summative Assessment 230Summative Assessment 2= 30 FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT: Within the class and school time only each subject must have only one Pen-Paper Test under formative assessment. The other modes of assessment must be a part of classroom interactive activities. Pen- Paper Test subject wise will be part of the Formative Assessment 1 in the first term and Formative Assessment 3 in the second term. Formative Assessment 1 and 3 in the form of Pen- Paper Test is likely to be held in the last week of July and the second week of December in each academic session. The marks secured by children out of 40 in the FA 1 and FA 3 will be finally reduced to 10 respectively. NOTE: A teacher needs to use a series of diagnostic tools like Class test (Written as well as Oral), Surprise Test, Class Responses, Minute Paper (Short descriptions are made by children which give the teacher immediate feedback. It can be done at the end of the class for understanding the effectiveness of teaching-learning process.) etc. during the course of instruction in order to take diagnostic measures for effective learning of children and enable them to write FA 1 and FA 3 with great ease and confidence. Even, the teacher needs to use the feedback of FA 1 and FA3 to take remedial measures to improve the performance of bloomers (slow learners) in SA 1 and SA 3 respectively so that the bloomers could get minimum `D` grade in all the subjects. SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT: Summative Assessment 1 is likely to be held in the 2nd week of September and Summative Assessment 2 in the 2nd week of March in each academic session. The marks secured by children out of 60 in SA 1 and SA 2 will be finally reduced to 30 respectively.Grading ScaleAssessment of Scholastic attainments Part 1 will be reported twice in a year in one academic session.The nine- point grading scale for measuring Scholastic achievements is given below:Grade Marks Range Grade pointA191 -10010.0A281 - 909.0B171 - 808.0B261 - 707.0C151 - 606.0C241 - 505.0D33 - 404.0E121- 323.0E200 -202.0Minimum qualifying grade in all the subjects under Scholastic Domain is D.Note: All assessment with regard to the academic status of the students shall be done in marks and the assessment will be given in grades.
