The Complete CBC Assessment Guide: Formative, Summative & Competency Rubrics

A comprehensive guide for teachers and school heads on grading under the Competency-Based Curriculum: Exceeding Expectations (EE), Meeting Expectations (ME), Approaching (AE), and Below Expectations (BE).

# The Complete CBC Assessment Guide: Formative, Summative & Competency Rubrics The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) emphasizes formative assessment that evaluates a learner's ability to apply knowledge, values, and core competencies rather than simple rote memorization. ### Understanding the 4-Tier Competency Scale Somesha translates continuous teacher assessments into clear, standardized performance levels: - **Exceeding Expectations (EE - 80% to 100%)**: The learner consistently demonstrates mastery above the expected standard. - **Meeting Expectations (ME - 60% to 79%)**: The learner demonstrates thorough understanding and performs all tasks with confidence. - **Approaching Expectations (AE - 40% to 59%)**: The learner demonstrates basic comprehension but requires occasional guidance. - **Below Expectations (BE - 0% to 39%)**: The learner is struggling with foundational concepts and requires dedicated remedial intervention. Teachers simply enter raw scores into Somesha's digital Gradebook. The system automatically computes grade percentages, assigns competency bands, and generates professional printable report cards.
