The document discusses expectations from CBSE schools regarding implementing the National Education Policy 2020. It outlines that schools need to prepare students for rapid change and unknown future jobs/technologies. Schools should focus on developing students' understanding of different perspectives, respect for others, and responsibility towards sustainability. The key points discussed are: - Schools should focus on planning, access and retention, following frameworks, and providing resources. - Teachers need training in various pedagogies, subjects, identifying student potential, and engaging parents. All teachers must be qualified. - Student learning should be assessed not to judge but help students, and track their progress.

1. EXPECTATIONS FROM CBSE SCHOOL
NEP 2020
11.12.20

2. Schools now need to prepare students for more rapid change
than ever before, to learn for jobs that have not yet been
created, to tackle societal challenges that we can’t yet imagine,
and to use technologies that have not yet been invented. And
they need to prepare students for an interconnected world in
which students understand and appreciate different
perspectives and world views, interact successfully and
respectfully with others, and take responsible action toward
sustainability and collective well-being.

24. Student Learning

25. Assessment is not for judging students, its an opportunity
S. Learning
• Educational outcomes will be incorporated suitably in the assessment of schools
by SSSA
• For secondary education, CBSE will prepare assessment and evaluation procedures
for its affiliated schools/students, for implementation from 2022-23 session
onwards.
• NCERT/PARAKH will prepare framework and guidelines for Holistic Progress Card

of core concepts and knowledge along with relevant HOTS and application of
knowledge in real-life situations.
• Some other possibilities include:
• a system of annual/semester/modular Board Exams could be developed
• all subjects and corresponding assessments, beginning could be offered at two levels
• Tests to have two levels of Difficulty
• Moving to adaptive testing

27. Track to have their back – Monitoring and Tracking student
learning S. Learning
• System for tracking student growth allows teachers to determine which students
are learning and which ones are not
• Tracking each child beginning with Foundational levels
• Tracking proficiency levels in achievement of LOs – each child to achieve mastery
over LO

• Pre-assessments - a great way to find out what students already know and what
still needs to be taught before a unit or lesson
• Peer tutoring allows students to have more opportunities for assistance.
• Pre-teach concepts to students who may struggle with the material.
• Re-teach using post assessments - if say, greater than 20 % students receive less
than an 80% pass rate on an assignment, re-teach the lesson to entire class.

28. Non-Negotiables

critical thinking, problem solving and
judgement), ways of working (including
communication and collaboration), tools for
working (including the capacity to recognise
and exploit the potential of new technologies)
and about the capacity to live in a multi-
faceted world as active and responsible
citizens
