Holistic means all round development within the school space which involves both academic and co-curricular activities.

Diagnostic is identifying opportunities of improvement and strengths of child through series of tools like observation, listening, dialogue approach, verbal quizzing, high order thinking skills (HOTS).

Lateral thinking allows the learner to think differently and out of the box. 

Scholastic refers to all aspects of intellect (mind / brain), which includes assessment of learners in curricular subjects.

Co-scholastic looks at the other areas beyond the intellect like the hand and heart and therefore deals with attitudes, values and participation in co-curricular activities indoor / outdoor. 

Continuous is a regular and constant evaluation process where testing and teaching go hand in hand to ensure that all areas that need attention are dealt with as and when required. 

Remedial teaching addresses opportunity of improvement through the tools of assessment like observation, HOTS, etc. 

Periodicity implies that assessment will continue at periodic intervals and not happen only at the end of the teaching. (daily, weekly, monthly or term wise). 

Feedback is a process of evaluation after any learning / teaching / activity from the stakeholders (parents / students / society at large). 

Grading a child is dynamic (constantly growing). Grading is an indicative of his progress at all levels. It is used in lieu of marks to prevent competition and lack of self esteem.

Anecdotal Record: Specific observations made by a teacher can be recorded  in anecdotal records. It provides information about students' development over an extended period of time. Observations made by the teacher (s) can be used further to identify the instructional needs of students. It can be subject specific observations or behavioural aspect related.
