With a spotlight on the practical implementation of the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) and the National Education Policy (NEP) of 2020, Sharma emphasised the pivotal role such workshops play in fostering effective teaching strategies. He underscored the significance of equipping educators with the tools necessary to navigate the evolving landscape of education, especially in integrating new technologies for accurate assessment.
Throughout the session, educators were exposed to a spectrum of topics vital for honing their assessment methodologies. From dissecting the intricacies of curriculum assessment to delving into innovative evaluation techniques like Bloom’s taxonomy, the workshop traversed a comprehensive terrain. Moreover, special attention was devoted to cultivating a nuanced understanding of questioning techniques and leveraging portfolios for holistic evaluation.
The workshop wasn’t just a lecture hall affair; it embraced interactive elements and engaging activities, injecting humor and dynamism into the learning experience. Teachers were encouraged to explore alternative assessment avenues, realising that a student’s comprehension could be gauged through diverse mediums such as art, debates, or practical projects.
Reflecting on the workshop, participants lauded Sharma’s leadership and the transformative impact of the session on their teaching practices. They expressed newfound confidence in their ability to nurture students’ holistic development, equipped with fresh insights gained from the workshop.
