Whilst on my final Professional Practice I had the opportunity to explore different methods of assessment sue to there now being no levels which the children can be marked against. This led me to being able to explore the methods of assessment used in my placement class and how it enabled the class teacher to see how each child was progressing.
This programme was very helpful when looking at how the progress children make can be monitored and logged to prove progression within different subjects and curriculum areas. It was easy to use and used colour coding to show a visual representation of how children were meeting their learning outcomes or targets, and how they could improve further.
I have found it useful to look at after not being able to use levels to monitor progress children may make, and would be a programme I may use in the future to track the progress of future classes.
How it meets the standards:
- TS1: Part B of standard 1 is met in this piece of evidence because different methods of assessment enable teachers and support staff to set goals that stretch and challenge all pupils of backgrounds, abilities and dispositions within a classroom. This programme is easy to use and enables you to see a very visual colour-coded table relating to each individual child’s performance.
- TS2: I feel as though I can show working towards part A of this standard because teachers need to be accountable for pupils’ attainment, progress and outcomes, which this programme allows.
- TS6: I feel that this piece of evidence shows that I have been working towards parts A, B and C of standard 6 because I understand how to assess relevant subject areas, including statutory assessment requirements for each year group. It also demonstrates an understanding of how formative and summative assessment can be used to secure pupils’ progress and how the use relevant data can be used to monitor progress, set targets, and plan subsequent lessons to target individual children’s needs.
