How How schools can plan for SBA Implementationschools can plan for SBA Implementation
Conduct SBA as an integral part of teaching and learning and not treat it as an “add-on”
Set up school’s own assessment plan, specify the no. of assessment activities to be conducted for individual subjects
Coordinate the conduct of the SBA across subjects so that students’ work will not be concentrated into one or two critical months
Incorporate SBA as a part of schools’ internal assessment program and replace some of the current assessment activities, e.g. assignments, tests etc
