From yearly to daily planning, NCE Lesson Plans are an excellent support for teachers. These Lesson Plans help teachers organise their professional tasks both at macro and micro levels. They are provided free of cost to the schools adopting NCE syllabuses.

Assessment Papers

NCE syllabus aims to develop competencies of students. Each book enhances a set of skills most appropriate for that age. The language, thinking and life skills developed through this syllabus are important for a child’s future success.

NCE experts have created an assessment system exclusively for this competency-based syllabus. This consistent assessment system, evaluates the full range of skills and concepts presented in the NCE syllabus.

There is a set of assessments available for each book. These assessments can be used informally or formally to monitor the progress of children. The instructions are easy to follow, as they are free of any confusing statements and puzzling comments.

These assessments are beneficial for all the stakeholders of pre-primary and primary education. For administrators and the Principal, these assessments are a way of monitoring teachers’ performance, and students’ progress. With the help of these assessments the management is better equipped to appreciate or depreciate various teaching practices. They can alter or improve certain rules and policies in the light of the results compiled from these assessments.

For teachers these assessments offer accurate information about a child’s educational progress. They can use this information to prepare more professional report cards, as the strong and weak areas of children’s learning are clearly reflected through these assessments. A profile of children’s learning that emerges from these assessments can also help teachers advise and counsel parents more productively.

For children these assessments can help make a more authentic career choice with compatible future courses of studies.

All these assessments are nicely arranged in folders and provided to the schools in CD format. This enables teachers to take printouts as required. The Schools may add their own logos on the top of the assessment paper without losing the quality of the document.

Yearly Planners

These Lesson Plans also contain the yearly plan of studies for each book as well. These yearly planners help teachers divide the book on monthly, weekly and daily patterns.

Yearly planner consists of two moieties. Moiety means half of a whole. A whole year is broken down into two equal parts, where each part is called a moiety.

It helps the teacher cover efficiently the entire syllabus in a given academic year.

Teachers can monitor systematically what is done and what is not. It also helps teachers report the syllabus effectively to the parents.
