On May 3, 2025, at Holy Public Junior College, where 28 teachers took part in a super engaging and eye-opening training session on how to make assessments more meaningful. The session was led by Mr. Vikram Singh, a well-known educator and speaker, with full support from Principal Ms. Sonika Chauhan, who’s always been passionate about modern teaching practices. But don’t imagine this was some boring, slide-after-slide lecture. It started with an ice-breaker activity that had teachers laughing, chatting, and instantly connecting. The vibe? Super positive and full of energy.

Key Highlights of the Session:

So, What Was This Session Really About? Let's break it down!

Hands-On Learning for Teachers
28 educators participated in a lively, interactive workshop on building effective assessments that go beyond rote memorization.
Purpose-Driven Assessments
Teachers explored the shift from recall-based questions to assessments that evaluate understanding, application, and higher-order thinking.
Introduction to Bloom’s Taxonomy
Educators were introduced to the framework of Bloom’s Taxonomy and learned how to design layered questions—from basic recall to analytical and creative tasks.
Collaborative Planning Sessions
Real-world classroom scenarios, question paper design exercises, and group planning activities helped make the session immediately useful.
Improved Question Quality
Teachers learned how to ask better questions—moving from “What is X?” to “Why does X matter?” or “How can X be used in real life?”
Positive Educator Feedback
Teachers described the session as “refreshing,” “thought-provoking,” and “applicable,” showing increased motivation to try new assessment approaches.

What Did the Teachers Think?

Turns out, they loved it. Words like “refreshing,” “thought-provoking,” and “engaging” kept popping up in their feedback. Many teachers said they felt more confident and excited to try out new assessment strategies with their students.

Workshops like this show how schools like Holy Public Junior College are stepping up their game - not just for students but for teachers too. Because when teachers learn and grow, students benefit the most. Better assessments mean less rote learning, more real understanding, and maybe even a little less exam stress (fingers crossed!).

So the next time your teacher gives you a really thoughtful, mind-twisting question, you’ll know - they did their homework too.
