Though as a teacher I wanted to use assessment to improve overall learning, it is taking me time to learn how to assess without inducing stress and fear. With CCE becoming mandatory, I resolved not to reduce the activity to mere tallying and book-keeping but to deeply integrate assessment with everyday classroom activities and to use it to plan my next steps. 

There is enough body of research evidences across the world to show that continuous assessment leads to drastic improvement in students’ learning levels.
