2.1. Continuous Assessment Is used to exlain the on-going process of
assessments that expands to the entire learning process. Assessments begin
when learnin starts and is continued through the entire learning process. As
teachers we use on-going scenarios of collecting information about our
learners' learning with theaim of identifyng their strengths and weaknessess.
The continuous assessment uses a variety of methods of assesment that cater
to diffrerent learners needs. It is also vital to take into account the importance
of giving individual learners constructive feedback after they have written their
assessment.

Phase Grade 4 will be:
- Summative Assessments (Term tests and end-of-year exams)
- Formative Assessments (Written Assessment done through research)
- Baseline Assessments (Completed in Term 1 to gain undeerstanding of
the current level that the learners are at)
- Diagnostic Assessments (Creating assessments to analyse learners
understanding of current topics being
covered in class)
- Continuous Assessments (Creating activities to determine the rate of
process of teaching.)

2.3. Reasons for the forms of assessments chosen:


- Summative Assessment (Determine adequate progress is being made
based on work covered in class.)
- Formative Assessment ( To assist in leearning and teaching techniques)
- Baseline Assessment ( To detemine the level of knowledge and skills
before the work has been taught/ application
skills)

2.5.1. Social Justice should be promoted in the classroomto create a conscious


community. This environment ensures that the learners' voices, opinions and
ideas are valued and respected by eachother. We can establish this by
developing rules that teach fairness in classroom discussions and behaviour.
These productive conversations can be developed by teaching our learners to
share their ideas and opinions with others that allow for disagreement but
values eachothers perspective.
We should continuouly be encouraging this environment and challenging them
to question the world around them as well as the schools they attend.

2.5.2. Social Constructivism surrounds the collaborative nature of learning.


Students rely on eachother to grow and build their foundatioons. As a teacher
we should be concerned with not only what our students learn but also how our
students learn. The aim is to help students manage themselves and ecourage

and support themselves. We should percieve the world not as a static reality
but as a reality in the transformatiion process.
