2. The Importance of Partnerships
I dreamed I stood in a studio
And watched two sculptors there.
The clay they worked was a young child’s mind,
And they fashioned it with care.
One was a teacher, the tools she used
Were books and music and art;
One a parent with a guiding hand,
And a gentle, loving heart.
And when at last the task was done,
They were proud of what they had wrought,
For the things they had moulded into the child
Could neither be sold nor bought.
And each agreed they may have failed
If each had worked alone,
For behind the teacher stood the school,
And behind the parent, the family home.
3. WHAT IS
CONTINUOUS COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION ?
Continuous and Comprehensive evaluation
refers to a system of school based assessment
that covers all aspects of student’s
development
It emphasizes two fold objectives.
Continuity in evaluation and assessment of
broad based learning.
Behavioral out come.
4. FEATURES OF CCE
Continuous
Continual—from the beginning and during the instructional process
Comprehensive
Covers both academic outcomes, social outcomes, and Life skills.
• Scholastic - Subject specific areas.
• Co-Scholastic - Life skills, attitudes & values and
other co curricular activities
Evaluation
The scope of evaluation should include both scholastic and coscholastic areas, i.e. it should be comprehensive in nature.
Evaluation is continuous and reveals the strengths and weaknesses
of learners more frequently, so that the learners have better
opportunity to understand and improve themselves.
5. Two dimensions of Learning
Scholastic
•Academic
Co Scholastic
•Life Skills
•Attitudes and Values
•Work experience
•Physical and Health Education
•Art Education
6. Scholastic Evaluation
Formative Assessment :

the teacher formally and informally
Summative Assessment:
• End of term written exams
7. FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT (FA)
It is mandatory that the teachers must use
at least 3-4 different assessment tools during
the term for each Formative Assessment (FA).
Can comprise of :
• Class work
• Homework

the school as per the marking scheme sent by the
Board.
9. Scholastic Areas
There will be two terms in both classes IX & X, the First Term
will be from April - September and the Second Term from
October – March
Each term will have
two Formative &
one Summative
Assessment.
Six assessments are
carried out in a session
10. Scholastic Grading Scale
Assessment will be indicated in Grades.
The CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) will be provided
An indicative equivalence of Grade Point and Percentage of marks
can be computed as follows:
Subject wise indicative percentage of marks = 9.5 x GP of the subject
Overall indicative percentage of marks = 9.5 x CGPA
11.
12. Note : The grades for each Co-Scholastic Area is given on the basis of a Checklist
provided by the CBSE. Points on scale of 1 to 5 are given for each point and
Average is calculated and converted into Grade.
13. ‘5’ stands for desirable behaviour and ‘1’ for the undesirable one
14. ‘5’ stands for desirable behaviour and ‘1’ for the undesirable one
15. ‘5’ stands for desirable behaviour and ‘1’ for the undesirable one
16. Policy of Up-scaling of Grades in Scholastic areas on
the basis of grades obtained in Co-scholastic areas
S. No. Domains
Grade points in Co-scholastic Areas/ Activities
01. Life skills
3 X 5 = 15
02. Work Education
1X5=5
03. Visual & Performing Arts
1X5=5
04. Attitude & Values
4 X 5 = 20
05. Co-curricular activities
2 X 5 = 10
06. Health & Physical Education
2 X 5 = 10
Total
65
17. The following scheme will be followed for up-scaling
the grades in Scholastic areas based on grades in CoScholastic area.
a)Those Students who get total grade points in coscholastic areas/ activities in the range 53-65 may
benefit by getting upgraded to the next higher
grade in two subjects in scholastic areas.
b)Those students who get total grade points in the range
40-52, may benefit by getting upgraded to the
next higher grade in one subject in scholastic area.
18. Up-scaling the grades in Scholastic areas:
c)The upscaling of Grade in Scholastic Areas is
applicable in the Five Main Subject only (i.e. excluding
Additional 6th Subject).
d) No Grade should will be up-scaled twice.
e) No up-scaling is done if the Grade obtained in the
subject is E2 or A1.
f) Upscaling is done from lowest grade to next higher
grade and so on. (Example : E1 be upscaled to D,
D to C2,
C2 to C1,
C1 to B2,
B2 to B1,
B1 to A2
and A2 to A1)

• SA1+SA2 = 25% (45 / 180 )
{must not have E2 grade }
NOTE : If student is scoring less than 22.5 marks
in SA1 then he has to cover up the balance in SA2
.
• FA1 + FA2 = 33 %
• FA3 +FA4 = 33%
• Overall Grade(FA + SA) for promotion is D (33%)
• Note – Class IX grades are also shown in the
Class X report card issued by the CBSE
21. Total Grade point = 64
so two subjects were upgraded from grade B1 to A2
