Holistic
Assessment
Passionate Learners, Creative Thinkers, Caring Leaders.
Holistic Assessment (HA)“Our children should grow up to be confident
persons, adept at working in teams and able to
communicate their thoughts and ideas effectively.
They should be self-directed learners who view
education as a life-long process……
At the same time, Singapore needs citizens who
are morally upright, have a strong sense of civic
responsibility and who will contribute actively to
society.”
Source: Report of the Primary Education Review and Implementation Committee, March 2009 p3
Passionate Learners, Creative Thinkers, Caring Leaders.
• Build child’s confidence and desire to learn
• Child will take greater ownership of his/her learning when
he/she has a clear vision of goals aimed for and know
what to work on to improve based on richer feedback
given.
• Balance knowledge with skills and values
-Use of engaging pedagogies to teach skills and values
-Emphasise non-academic programmes within
curriculum
Holistic Assessment (HA)
Passionate Learners, Creative Thinkers, Caring Leaders.
Four Key Aspects of HA
• Focus on the development of the whole child
• Strike a balance between summative (AoL) and formative
assessments (AfL)
• Guide teachers in the design and delivery of their teaching
practices
• Use appropriate methods and modes of assessments

Holistic Assessment (HA)
Passionate Learners, Creative Thinkers, Caring Leaders.
Assessment of Learning (AoL)
• to measure pupil achievement
and report evidence of learning
• for accountability purposes –
grading, ranking and certification.
• tends to be summative in nature
• carried out at the end of a unit,
semester or year
Assessment for Learning (AfL)
• to support classroom learning and
teaching and improve pupil learning
• to redirect learning in ways that help
pupils master learning goals
• formative in nature,
• takes place all the time in the
classroom, a process that is
embedded in instruction.

Assessment for Learning
(AfL)
Pupils use the FAST-kits to show
their understanding of their learning
in the classrooms
Passionate Learners, Creative Thinkers, Caring Leaders.
• Place less emphasis on single-point assessment
such as semestral examinations
• Equip teachers with skills to provide pupils with richer and moreholistic feedback on their development and skills acquisition toenable more meaningful learning.
• Provide parents with a more comprehensive “Holistic DevelopmentProfile“ which captures a fuller picture of their child’s progress andlearning throughout the year.
