Empowering Teachers, Parents and Students Through HPC
Empowering Teachers through 360-Degree Assessment:
The orientation equipped teachers with practical strategies to assess learners beyond conventional marks. It emphasised observing and documenting students’ cognitive, socio-emotional, physical, and other developmental dimensions to understand individual learning needs and plan responsive classroom interventions.
Strengthening Parent-Teacher Collaboration:
The HPC provides a comprehensive picture of a child’s progress beyond a conventional marksheet. Teachers can communicate meaningful feedback, helping parents understand their child’s strengths, interests, learning needs, and areas requiring support at home.
Fostering Holistic Student Development:
The HPC framework encourages a shift from an exclusive focus on academic achievement towards competency development, critical thinking, creativity, self-awareness, and overall well-being. Continuous feedback helps students recognise their progress, build confidence, and take greater ownership of learning.
The training programme served as a valuable platform for professional learning, collaborative understanding, and practical guidance, reinforcing the shared commitment of MGPS and NHLPS towards nurturing every learner through a holistic, competency-based, and learner-centred approach.
