The sessions in the schools have primarily focused on maths, language and SEL to some extent. The end-line assessment will assess students’ foundational competencies in maths and language that the project has attempted to develop using inclusive pedagogies. The end-line assessment will take into account students’ learning in the curricular areas that were focused on during the classroom sessions, students’ perspectives on inclusivity in the classroom, teacher perspectives on students’ responses and learnings, facilitators’ reflections from the sessions, camps and workshops conducted.

The assessment will incorporate [https://udlguidelines.cast.org/binaries/content/assets/udlguidelines/udlg-v2-2/udlg_graphicorganizer_v2-2_numbers-no.pdf UDL principles] in its design and implementation. The assessment tools will be similar to what had been used during the baseline where interactions were done individually and in small groups with the students in a non-test-like environment. Maximum care would be taken to ensure that students don’t feel nervous or scared. Multiple modes of assessment will be employed to allow students to show their learning in different ways. '''''It will also include student portfolios to be able to track students’ learning progress over the course of the project.'''''

In the baseline it was found that students across schools have behavioural issues and struggle with interpersonal skills. Taking this into consideration, the TIIE sessions have tried to incorporate elements of SEL. Observations, evidence and students’ responses from the sessions will be analysed to understand the extent to which some of these elements have been internalised by the students or have helped address some of the issues.

As part of the maths assessment, students’ understanding of place value, addition, subtraction and multiplication operation was assessed. Providing multiple means of actions and expressions is a key principle of UDL which underlines the need to differentiate the ways in which learners can express what they know and understand. The maths end-line assessment will incorporate this by evaluating students’ abilities in different formats.
As part of the maths assessment, students’ understanding of place value, addition, subtraction and multiplication operation was assessed in 4 schools.

As part of the language assessment, the objective here was to understand the language competencies of students at the time of the end line study. The relative change in these competencies between baseline and end line, in the intervention schools, was meant to provide important inputs on the effectiveness of the TIIE implementation. Questions were used to assess students' skills such as listening, speaking, reading, and writing, creative expression and their ability to follow instructions, based on pre-designed rubrics. The tool was then digitized using a Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) called ‘Xerte’. Data collection was done digitally and uploaded to a central aggregate platform using the FOSS phone app ‘ODK Collect’ for the rubrics corresponding to different ability/ competency levels for each of the skills assessed.

Piloting [https://karnatakaeducation.org.in/KOER/en/index.php/TIIE-End_line_Mathematics_pilot Mathematics end line] tool at Byrasandra school. (Asha comment in telegram - We noticed yesterday in the baseline data that most students were able to solve addition without carry-over, and they would’ve had practice over the course of the year as well. Hence, for the end-line, we thought we need not assess this again.)
