Challenges associated with CCE implementation-

1. Teachers unable to implement it in its true spirit.

2. Unavailability of evaluation tools and their appropriate usage is an important aspect with respect to scholastic.

3. For co-scholastic no rating scales, procedures available to evaluate different skill areas.

4. In respect to parents, incomplete knowledge of CCE to them and hence unclear expectations from them. 

Learnmile’s view on CCE-

CCE is an improved and a better way of evaluation to assess the all round development of a child irrespective of the individual differences.

Key learning’s:

1. Knowledge- For complete knowledge of CCE framework please read the document and also the CCE manual.

2. Collaboration- There should be a strong and regular teacher and parent collaboration. A platform is required for both teachers and parents where they are able to give their feedback.

3. Support execution- CCE implementation requires adequate infrastructure as well as support of all the various stakeholders in the environment. For example- To do a project on various types of leaves as part of the holiday homework, a parent took his/her child in bio-diversity Park, where different trees with their respective names lab led on them were present and hence completed the project with the actual implementation and learning of the child.

4. Follow the evolution- Parents and teachers should learn as the framework grows and also get their fundamentals updated with time.

5. A research study should be done on the implementation of CCE.
