The concept of a grading system in the traditional education system is not new, and it majorly focuses on quantifiable metrics to assess the progress of students. In the recent past, the Holistic Progress Card was introduced by the education board, and it comprises several assessment metrics, including academics, emotional intelligence, creativity, social skills, and personal development. Though this shift has been introduced to offer numerous benefits to students as well as the education system, due to poor implementation, schools are not able to avail all the benefits. But there is no need to worry about the same, as we at UDTeSchool are offering cutting-edge technology that helps overcome most of the challenges that come with a Holistic Report Card. In this blog, we are sharing how our online application is there to implement HPC successfully and help schools avail themselves of maximum benefits.
Not Being Familiar with the New Grading System
One of the biggest challenges one faces with a Holistic Progress Card is unaware of the standardized metrics. It makes it challenging for teachers to give proper grades for several other skills other than academics. However, our online application at UDTeSchool has made it easier for teachers to assign grades to students by simply updating all their details online. We also provide all-inclusive assessment criteria to help teachers access and provide accurate grading to students.
Unavailability of Time for Manual Grading
As the assessment criteria have increased and teachers need to assign grades for all the skills, it has increased the workload of teachers. The limited time availability, along with teaching work, makes it difficult for one to manage the time. That is when our online applications come to the rescue by eliminating manual tasks and feeding all the assessment grades with the help of the online tool provided by UDTeSchool. It not only reduces manual tasks but also helps in saving time, which can be utilized in teaching students.
Difficulty in Communicating Grades to Parents
Another challenge faced by schools is how to communicate these diverse scores to parents to help them understand the overall performance of their kids. We all know that the Holistic Progress Card focuses on overall development, and informing parents about it is crucial. We at UDTeSchool have designed an online application that comes with a feature that has made communication with parents easier. Parents can also log in through this app and check their grades for different skills along with academic grades with ease. Teachers need not worry about communicating test scores, assignment scores, and creativity grades with parents when using this online application.
Conclusion
These are some of the most common challenges that one faces when implementing a Holistic Report Card in schools. Ever since this was introduced, schools and teachers were overburdened because of the same. At UDTeSchool, we understand these challenges well, and considering them all, we have designed an online application that comes with a user-friendly interface to offer complete support in the implementation of the Holistic Report Card.
