Developing a school approach to assessment

The assessment process should be a positive experience for the children and enable teachers to:

• Modify curriculum content according to the needs of the child
• Adapt learning and teaching strategies
• Assess the effectiveness of learning
• Promote self-assessment in the child
• Explore how the child transfers learning from one situation to another
• Communicate with the child, parents and others regarding the child’s abilities, strengths and overall progress in SPHE.

Among the tools recommended for SPHE are:

• Teacher observation
• Teacher-designed tasks and tests
• Portfolios

Much of the assessment of SPHE will be of an informal type which is non-intrusive and non-threatening to the child.
