narrative assessment

Narrative assessment is a way educators, or professionals, describe a person’s development, skills, and progress through detailed written descriptions rather than just numbers or grades. It provides a comprehensive picture of strengths, growth areas, and characteristics, often including examples of work or behavior. This approach helps parents, students, and teachers understand a person's learning journey more fully, highlighting individual qualities and achievements that might not be captured by traditional scores. It encourages a personalized view of development, supporting better understanding and targeted support.
