STARTER 2– 5 MINUTES • CHOOSE A LESSON YOU TAUGHT TODAY • DISCUSS WITH A PARTNER - HOW DID THE STUDENTS KNOW IF THEY HAD MADE PROGRESS IN YOUR LESSON? • THEN SHARE WITH REST OF TEAM
LEARNING OBJECTIVESWALT • Understand what APP is. • Connect Assessment for Learning (AFL) to Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) in personalising learning for all pupils across all phases, planning for progression and overcoming barriers to learning • See the difference between a good and outstanding lesson • Complete a self evaluation of our use of AFL strategies in our individual lessons • Observe AFL strategies in mini lessons • Have a clear idea of your departments next steps
LEARNING OUTCOMES - WILF • ALL OF YOU • Will have a clearer idea of APP and the link with AFL and will try to develop at least 2 stategies in your lessons. • MOSTOF YOU • will try to develop at least 2 AFL strategies in your lessons and understand how the use of APP can lead to outstanding teaching and learning. • SOME OF YOU • Will lead the development of APP in your departments.
Please note ……. It is possible to do AFL without APP– BUT you cannot do APP without AFL – APP allows a framework for AFL and helps students to progress
Good AfL Objectives made clear at start of lesson Clear, measurable lesson OUTCOMES Peer marking & assessment Plenaries that address the OUTCOMES Self assessment & target setting Students given think time supports pupil progress
Assessing Pupil Progress means... • Change from extensive use of summative topic, unit or end of project tests to an ongoing assessment model • Change from modest use of the AfL approach to systematic, continuous assessment through AfL with high quality formative feedback and levels as outcomes • Change from inconsistent to consistent use of shared, common assessment criteria across a department – grids in place for science, eng, maths and p.e. • Increasing the personalisation of learning, through attention to the diversity of pupil assessment outcomes ( e.g. p.e now less about performance– also about why exercise is beneficial and how students can help each other to improve)
How does the APP process help teachers? Supports teachers to make judgements of pupils’ progress by encouraging teaching of processes within each subject. ( e.g. key process = health ) Values the professional judgements of teachers. Allows for a common approach to assessment criteria across a department Tailors planning to promote progression. Supports the fine-tuning of learners’ needs.
What can APP do to help pupils? Uses a wide range of evidence to help pupils to demonstrate their achievement. Informs them of their next steps. Develops skills which help them to become independent learners. Allows pupils to understand the concept of progression
APP Progression and assessment - scale AFL -Learning outcomes shared with pupils Peer and self-assessment taking place Quality of feedback and next steps for pupils Quality of Q&D in classrooms Day-to-day progress Broader view of progress for teacher and learner Use of progress grids in the classroom Linked to reporting cycle Periodic • which provides a formal recognition of pupils’ achievement that can be shared between pupils, parents and teachers.- Transitional
TASK In your teams.... Highlight the areas of the Ofsted criteria where APP could have a real impact on the judgment of a lesson.
Day to day • What does day to day progress look like in your lessons at present ? • Fill in quick audit sheet to see where we all are at present.
NOW GO TO YOUR MINI LESSON EXPERIENCES…… MAKE A NOTE OF THE AFL STRATEGIES YOU THINK YOUR TEACHER WAS USING
