The Early Years Program is a blend of experiential learning and a gradual building up of skills for the Foundation Years. While we realize the importance of nurturing the natural curiosity of a child and letting every child develop and learn at their own pace, we also believe in step by step building up of skills so that the child is ready to take on the academic and other challenges of a higher grade. Our early years program is testimony of that.
The concept of assessing children during the teaching-learning process becomes important here. When this information is used to adapt teaching methods to help improve student understanding, it is termed as formative assessment. In simpler words, assessment can occur within the classroom during the teaching-learning process as long as teachers identify assessment opportunities, observe students on their understanding, and arrive at conclusions on whether the child has understood the concept or not. The teacher can then alter her/his teaching methods to ensure the child learns better.
