Organised under the theme, Managing change for better learning', the conference will look at key issues such as school-based assessment, addressing resistance to change, teacher empowerment, embedding technology in the CCE environment and dimensions of co-scholastic skills.
"We are here because we see the conference as a good forum to discuss and debate the positives and negatives of CCE. We are also looking to get inputs on assessment since it is a new system. As principals, we need to equip our teachers with the know-how and come up with a good method to assess children," said Margrette David Raj, principal of Bhakthavatsalam Vidyashram and chairperson of the CBSE Chennai Sahodaya School Complexes. About 15 representatives from schools in the city are participating in the conference, she added.
CBSE chairman Vineet Joshi and Sadhana Parashar, Head (Innovation and Research), CBSE, were also scheduled to attend the event.
Recognising the need to train greater focus on the issue of assessment, the CBSE is also organising an international conference on the subject in January 2011. Slated to be conducted in association with the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) and Sahodaya School Complexes (Gurgaon Chapter), the conference will look to address the scope of assessment in teaching and learning. Union Human Resource Development minister Kapil Sibal will inaugurate the event.
The conference will deal with topics such as understanding best assessment practices, using assessment to monitor teacher effectiveness to encourage school improvement, developing a support system for using assessments in classroom and policy changes in the new educational framework for improved assessments.
