Evaluation & Examination System
At Brooklyn National Public School, students are evaluated on the basis of their willingness to learn and the efforts they make to reach their goals. Based on a comprehensive evaluation system, evaluation in the school is a combined effort on the part of the teachers, the parents and the students to better understand the learning experiences for each student.
Teachers use daily class observations, students’ creative pursuits, informal assessments, group and individual goal settings as indicators of progress and development. To the extent possible, teachers and parents together share their observations with the students and seek collective goal setting as the strategy for future development of each student. Like the myriad influences of the school, evaluation at Brooklyn National Public School is a source of inspiration and learning, and not a time for judgment and fear.
From the middle classes onwards, students are gradually but firmly oriented to take the board examination system. Practice, research, articulation and accuracy assume high importance for the senior students. Opportunities are provided for students to orient themselves to national and international level competitive examinations. Students are guided and encouraged to explore their own levels of mastery and potential for growth in a variety of competitive settings.
Students are assessed throughout the academic year on the basis of their performance through Formative Assessments/Evaluations and Summative Assessments. Formative Assessments and Evaluations are held in the months of July, November and January. Summative Assessments are conducted in September and March of every year.
