Welcome to IISJ Secondary School

IISJ Secondary school comprises of IX and X Grade. Secondary School students of IISJ appeared for CBSE board examination in March 2008 for the first time and then again in March 2009. In March 2010, the last batch of X grade students will appear for the Board Examination under the old Policy. There has been a dramatic change in education policy of CBSE at this level. It has introduced a new scheme of Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation from academic session 2009-2010.

According to this, an academic year has been divided into two terms. The first term is from April – September and the second term from October – March. Since the scheme was announced at the end 1st term. This year it has been applied from the 2nd term of the current academic year in Class IX.

The CCE in classes IX & X is intended to provide holistic profile of the learner through evaluation of both Scholastic and Co-Scholastic areas spread over two terms each during two academic years.

Evaluation of Scholastic areas

Each term has two Formative assessments and one Summative assessment for evaluation of Scholastic areas.

Formative Assessment

Formative assessment is used by the teacher to continuously monitor student progress in a non-threatening and supportive environment. It can improve student performance tremendously while raising the self esteem of the child and reducing the work load of the teacher. Formative assessment is diagnostic and remedial, which provides effective feedback to students, allows for the active involvement of students in their own learning, enables teachers to adjust teaching to take account of the results of assessment and recognizes the profound influence that assessment has on the motivation and self-esteem of students, both of which are crucial influences in learning. The Formative assessment is being done through quizzes, conversations, interviews, oral testing, visual testing, projects, practicals and assignments during the classes. This year there will be only two Formative assessments for Class IX for the second term. Assessments done periodically will be shown to the students/ parents so as to encourage continuous participatory improvement.

Summative Assessment

The Summative assessment is the terminal assessment of performance at the end of instruction. Under the end term Summative assessment, the students will be tested internally based on the following criteria.

  • A pen-paper test conducted by the schools at the end of each term.
  • In order to cater to difference in the pace of responding, the School will give flexible timing to the students during end term Summative assessment.
  • This year, there will be only one term end Summative assessment to be conducted in March 2010 for Class IX students.
  • Evaluation of answer scripts will be done by the school teachers themselves on the basis of the Marking Scheme provided by the Board. The weightage of Formative Assessment (FA) and Summative Assessment (SA) shall be as follows.

    Formative Assessment 10% Formative Assessment 2 10%
