Practical ways to bring NEP 2020's assessment-for-learning approach into your classroom - without adding to your workload. Plus a quick look at the Teacher App that does the heavy lifting for you.
NEP 2020 calls this "assessment FOR learning" instead of "assessment OF learning". The idea is simple: one big term-end exam tells you who passed - but by then, it's too late to actually help anyone. Frequent, low-stakes checks during the lesson tell you exactly which students didn't follow the concept today, so you can fix it tomorrow. A five-minute check at the end of every section beats a three-hour paper at the end of the term.
NEP 2020 asks for regular formative assessment - but most teachers can't add 30 hours of marking to a 40-student class. The way around it is structure: short, pre-built checks that auto-grade the moment a student submits. You see who got what wrong, by topic, while the lesson is still fresh in their heads. Your evenings stay yours. Your class time goes to teaching, not paperwork.
A student who scores 80% on a recall test isn't necessarily a strong thinker - they might just have a good memory. The Holistic Progress Card from PARAKH and NEP 2020 push teachers to assess across all six Bloom levels: Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyse, Evaluate, Create. Every ETL question is tagged by level, so you can see whether your class is strong on recall but weak on application - and adjust the next lesson accordingly.
If yes - ask your school admin to set you up with the Teacher App login. If your school isn't on ETL yet, share this page with your principal, or have them book a demo here.
