Academic Support
At ISS Kashmir, learning is a continuous process built on understanding, assessment, feedback and action.
Our Learning Cycle
At ISS Kashmir, learning is a continuous process. We teach for understanding, assess learning, use feedback to identify what needs attention and take the next academic step accordingly.
Learn
Students are guided to understand what they learn. Teaching focuses on concepts, principles, subject knowledge and clear explanations rather than memorisation alone.
Test
Students are assessed regularly to check their understanding, identify learning gaps, reinforce concepts and provide evidence of progress. Assessment is part of learning, not simply a way to award marks.
Feedback
Assessment helps students, teachers and the institution understand what has been learnt, what still needs attention and whether the student is ready to progress. Feedback guides the next steps in learning.
Act
The next academic step is based on feedback. When understanding is secure, students move forward. When gaps remain, concepts are revisited, doubts are clarified, and additional practice or academic support is provided. Further assessment is used where needed.
Academic Assessment
At ISS Kashmir, assessment is an essential part of learning. It helps us understand what students have learnt, identify areas that need attention and monitor their academic progress. Assessment is not just about marks; it helps guide teaching and improve learning.
Our assessments may include objective tests, written assessments, problem-solving, application-based questions and cumulative assessments. The methods may vary according to the subject and the student's academic stage.
We use assessment to answer three important questions:
What has the student understood?
What still needs attention?
Is the student progressing?
Our aim is to use assessment and feedback to strengthen understanding and support continuous improvement.
