Assessment and progression in primary science RP102D03Loading...
DurationFull day
Summary
Evidence shows that effective Assessment for Learning (AfL) leads to raised attainment. Now that formal recording of levels has been removed, you need to be secure in your understanding of how to make judgements about children's achievements and progress.
Throughout the course we will identify how you can integrate and embed assessment practices into your science teaching.
Outcomes
You will be able to:
• use a range of AfL strategies effectively to promote children’s learning
• acquire a deeper understanding of progression
• make confident and reliable teacher assessment of learning in science and identify children’s next steps
Cost: Maintained School £185 | Non-Maintained School £370

Lambeth primary subject leaders' network
Building on the theme of the implementation of the long-term curriculum map for science in the classroom from the first meeting of this term, this meeting will focus on: how subject leaders can monitor the implementation of the long-term curriculum map and the quality of teaching; how subject leaders can address, through CPD, any areas that require development that are identified as a result of monitoring; strategies for ensuring that children have sufficient opportunity to retrieve prior learning.
