JPSY_V2_N1_CS1 Hanan Yaniv Journal on Educational Psychology 2230 – 7141 2 1 60 69 Assessment, Humanistic Education, Self-evaluation, Teacher-student communication, Visualization This paper is a instrumental case study of an alternative assessment method, using a tool called ELM (Eye Light Monitor). ELM proposes a way to keep a finger on the pulse of every child, being attentive to emerging transitions in various parameters of his/her wellbeing that might affect his/her classroom behaviour and work, and might assist in identifying problems before they become a deeper problem. The case study presented in this paper presents a visual method of weekly communication between a teacher and his students along a list of five to six criteria representing the student’s wellbeing. The visual representation provides the teacher with an efficient method for identifying developing individual difficulties that requires intervention or general trends in classroom atmospheric changes.
