  9. Session 3: Assessment

  10. Westminster Briefing (December 2013): • • Levels will be removed and not replaced, because • –Parents don’t understand. • –Teachers worry about levels not what children can do. • Schools should have more freedom to decide • • Assessment should check what pupils have learned and are on track to meet expectations. • • Schools must report regularly to parents • Decile and Progression as a proposed scale score system has not met with positive feedback (NAHT) and is likely to not be implemented. • • OFSTED say that your tracking system must show progression. However, schools can choose whether to retain the level system or adopt own system. (Must consider consistency in clusters and with secondary schools.) • •January 2014 –examples of how you could report assessment will be provided by DFE.

  11. DFE Website – updated 27th Feb

  12. The long awaited reforms to primary assessment and accountability were published 27thMarch. Here are the highlights of the announcement: • Current balance of teacher assessment and testing will remain. • Writing will continue to be teacher assessed for KS2 SATs. • The spelling, punctuation and grammar test will NOT count towards the floor standard; the writing assessment will. • KS1 will be externally set, internally marked and then moderated. • The language on 'secondary readiness' has been toned down considerably. • No decile ranking of pupils. • The government does intend to introduce a reception baseline. This will be teacher-administered in the first term.

  13. Post-reform Current has met the new expected standard.

  21. Session 4: Science Talk

  22. Upper key stage 2 Expectations-spoken language The national curriculum for science reflects the importance of spoken language in pupils’ development across the whole curriculum – cognitively, socially and linguistically. The quality and variety of language that pupils hear and speak are key factors in developing their scientific vocabulary and articulating scientific concepts clearly and precisely. They must be assisted in making their thinking clear, both to themselves and others, and teachers should ensure that pupils build secure foundations by using discussion to probe and remedy their misconceptions.

  23. Key Stage 1: Pupils should read and spell scientific vocabulary at a level consistent with their increasing word reading and spelling knowledge at key stage 1. Y3/4: Pupils should read and spell scientific vocabulary correctly and with confidence, using their growing word reading and spelling knowledge. Y5/6: Pupils should read, spell and pronounce scientific vocabulary correctly.

  24. Working as a table, go through the curriculum for the Year group you have been given. Write in the table any key vocabulary that you feel children need to know.
