BİYAM - Balabilgə İnkişafının Yarımillik Analitik Müşahidəsi

Guidelines for the Implementation of BIYAM

BIYAM (Biannual Analytical Observation of Student Development) is a process designed to track student progress throughout the academic year, not only in terms of attendance but also through active participation, emotional well-being, and overall engagement. It also indirectly evaluates the pedagogical effectiveness of the teaching staff.

BIYAM is conducted through the combined efforts of class teachers, administrative staff, subject teachers, and psychologists—those who regularly interact with the student. Observations are based on:

• One-on-one conversations with students

• Teacher notes and comments

• Surveys conducted by the school psychologist

• Observation of body language, facial expressions, gestures, and social activity

Class supervisors are expected to pay attention to the following:

• Become familiar with criteria and performance levels before teacher meetings;

• Analyze each level’s indicators and contribute additional observations if needed;

• Record student progress realistically, without exaggeration;

• If unsure about assigning a level, discuss it during the meeting;

• If student behavior or performance does not fit existing indicators, propose new indicators to school leadership;

• Review and discuss monthly observation results with teachers to identify causes of stagnation or progress;

• Collaborate closely with the psychologist to help students advance through the levels;

• Share student progress with parents every two months, following approval from the administration.

  Note: When informing parents, special consideration must be given to the student’s psychological state and the family’s emotional context.

When writing reports, it is recommended to list a student's most successful outcomes first, and discuss challenges or weaknesses last, including the reasons behind them.
