Benefits for Academic Staff


How to survive life?



● The Central Board of Secondary Education introduced Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) in Primary classes (class I to V) in 2004.

(Circular No. 5/18/25/04)

● For this the Board recommended a five Point rating scale, it also recommended the elimination of the pass /fail system at the primary classes

(Circular No. 31/04/21/05)

● The focus was on identifying the talents of the learner and empowering with positive inputs.

● The Board has also followed it up by extending this scheme up to Classes VI to VIII and developed a CCE card on School Based Assessment for the same.

(Circular No. 2/06)

History of CCE in India


● The Class IX & X students are also being assessed through the CCE by the school itself.

● In general, for the purpose of the CCE, an academic year has been divided into two terms.

● The first term will be from April – Sept and the second term from October – March.


● The Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) has to be strengthened in all affiliated schools.

● The new 9 point Grading system has been introduced at Secondary School level (for Classes IX & X) effective from 2009-10 Academic Session.

Implementation of CCE


● It will reduce stress and anxiety which often builds up during and after the examination

● It will reduce the dropout rate as there will be less fear and anxiety related to performance.

● The emphasis on conceptual clarification through experiential learning in the classroom

How would the Scheme help?


● It is expected to prepare the students for life by making students physically fit, mentally alert and emotionally balanced.

● The students will have more time on their hands to develop their interests, hobbies and personalities.

● It will enable the students, parents and teachers to make an informed choice about subjects in Class XI.

● Schools have been asked to appoint Full time Counselors as a process.

Expectation being delivered by CCE:


In the assessment process, one should be careful NEVER to:

● Label learners as slow, poor, intelligent etc.● Make comparisons between them.● Make negative statements.

Priority while testing……


4 Assessment Paradigms


● It will motivate learning in a friendly environment rather than in a fearful situation.

● It will equip students with Life Skills especially Creative and Critical thinking skills, social skills and coping skills which will keep them in a good stead when they enter into a highly competitive environment later on.

Expectation being delivered by CCE:


The ultimate expectations through CCE:


● Shared lesson planning: ● Not only the same subject teachers, but also collaboration of resources

ought to happen with teachers taking up different subject areas.

What goes behind the implementation of CCE?


● Reduced teacher pupil ratio: ● It is absolutely essential to have a small class, with the teacher-

student ratio not exceeding 1:30 for effective implementation of the scheme.

CCE Initiates:


● Sustained reading time: ● It is often observed that classroom issues remain only the prerogative of

the class teacher. Reading needs to be a sustained school routine where pedagogical issues are addressed.

CCE Inspires towards:


● Flexible timetable:● The implementation of the scheme also implies flexible timetables.

Imagine the plight of the child’s mind buffering between different subjects one after the other, switching on and off within the span of 30 minutes.

The basic assumption of Formative Assessment is that every child can improve. When children are engaged in activities they feel like participating in the assessment process, projects, homework. They themselves grow, feeling in control of their success, and believing that continued success is within their reach if they keep trying.
