Not everything that counts can be counted,
and not everything that can be counted counts.
Holistic Assessment
“Holistic assessment aims to support the development of
the whole child …”
“… care must be taken to ensure a good balance of
assessments across various areas of learning.”
“There should also be a balance between assessments
that provide feedback and do not count towards a final
grade, and assessments that are graded to check for
mastery of learning.”
Grace Foo, 2010
“… in English, where the teachers want pupils to
develop confidence and effective communication
skills, dramatisation, role-play and show-and-tell
activities are used to build children’s speech and
presentation skills.”
“The children get to practise speaking
individually and in groups. They are shown the
rubrics, the indicators and the levels of
attainment for the skills they are practising. The
teachers involve the children in using the
indicators for self assessment and peer
assessment.”
“During the actual assessment, each child
receives feedback from the teacher which is also
shown to the parents. … This is different from
traditional oral assessment, where the child gets
a grade or mark without any feedback.”
Grace Foo, 2010
