Assessments and Reports

Bloom goes beyond traditional assessment methods to create a learning environment that nurtures creativity and critical thinking:

• Performance-Based Assessments: Our students demonstrate their learning through various dynamic formats such as presentations, debates, and projects. This approach allows them to showcase their knowledge and skills in contexts that mirror real-world scenarios, highlighting their ability to apply learning creatively and effectively.
• Peer Reviews and Feedback: Students regularly engage in peer review sessions, where they offer and receive constructive feedback. This process not only enhances their critical thinking skills but also fosters a collaborative learning environment, providing diverse insights and promoting a deeper understanding of the subject matter.
• Formative Portfolios: Students compile digital portfolios that chronicle their work and development over time. These portfolios are not just a collection of assignments but a curated self-reflection of their academic journey, showcasing growth and fostering a sense of accomplishment and ownership over their learning.

Our report cards are comprehensive, featuring several key components:

• The Academic Section assesses performance across foundational subjects, highlighting intellectual achievements as well as their efforts, engagement, and attitude towards learning.
• The Mastery Transcript showcases mastery over competencies essential for future readiness. We create a profile of growth in different competencies developed in our Applied Learning programs. The Mastery Transcript recognizes the importance of the process of learning, student agency, and the application of knowledge in real-world contexts.
• Advisor’s Comments provide personalized feedback on personal and ethical development, assessing growth in alignment with our core values of Creativity, Balance, Contribution, and Principle.

This multifaceted approach ensures that each student receives personalized, meaningful feedback supporting their academic and personal growth.

At Bloom, we view assessment as a tool for growth rather than a source of stress. We provide regular, targeted feedback, helping students recognize their strengths and areas for improvement. This ongoing process allows students to set realistic, achievable goals for themselves, fostering a supportive atmosphere where they are encouraged to take intellectual risks and learn from their experiences.

Our teachers are dedicated to creating an environment where students feel comfortable exploring new ideas and approaches without fear of failure. By integrating both traditional and innovative assessment practices, we offer a comprehensive overview of student learning, promoting continuous progress and instilling a lifelong love of learning.
