Resource Details

The Connected Open Online Learning (COOL) resources are meant to enable student teachers and teacher educators to stay connected to their learning and engage with concepts and practices for active and inclusive teaching and learning.

They are mapped onto the B.Ed Curriculum Framework of NCTE. (See the table below). Please note that these resources consist of some of the key topics put together as a resource and do not cover the entire course comprehensively.

These resources provide an overview of key topics from each course based on current research and practices. They are not exhaustive. It is essential to follow up with rigorous readings and school-based practices that are integral and necessary for teacher preparation. The resources provide scaffolding for some readings and suggestions for tasks to strengthen practice.

This resource on “Assessment for Learning” aims to develop critical understanding of the issues in assessment. The course is meant for prospective teachers and the thrust is on using assessments for supporting the processes of teaching and learning.

The course unfolds through five topical areas, beginning with an overview on assessment and evaluation; contexts, forms and types of assessment, procedures and tools for assessing; analysing, feedback and reporting assessments; and reforms, challenges and possibilities. Through these five topical areas, the learner will develop an understanding of comprehensive and dynamic assessment processes and reflect on ways to integrate this understanding to inform the practice of teaching and learning. 

The resource is available for free.
