This two-part course is designed to help leaders and teachers understand the key considerations when assessing the wider curriculum. It is highly practical, with many ideas to help with assessment.
Immerse yourself in a transformative approach to curriculum development. This isn't about ticking boxes. It's about creating a qualitative progression model that portrays a rich tapestry of student learning and growth. Through hands-on Portrayal of Progress (POP) tasks, you'll articulate principles of progress, cognitive processes, and critical vocabulary. This day will shift your paradigm from proving progress to portraying it through meaningful learning experiences.
Key Intentions for Part 1:
Gap Task: Finish the day by creating your own schema maps and POP Tasks, an optional exercise that provides a practical application of the day's learning.
By the end of Part 1, attendees will have a well-rounded understanding of how to create a nuanced and effective progression model for curriculum assessment, benefiting both teachers and students in the long term.
Building on Part 1, delve deeper into assessment that acts as a catalyst for learning. Master Assessment for Learning strategies, taking them from theory to practice in your classrooms. Additionally, explore the nuances of using tests, engage in Learning Talks, and familiarise yourself with innovative methods like Comparative Judgement.
Key Intentions for Part 2:
Assessment Types: Unpack the three types of assessment – Assessment for Learning, Formative, and Summative – with a focus on their nature, purpose, audiences, and methods.
Six Strategies for Assessment for Learning: Dive into practical examples and key principles for strategies: checking student responses, retrieval practice, writing to learn, metacognition, questioning, and feedback. Learn how Assessment for Learning isn't just for measurement but is a pedagogical approach that genuinely enhances learning. (References: Black & Wiliam, 1998; Hattie, 2009)
Quality and Difficulty Models: Explore these two assessment models with examples that refer back to the curriculum expectations established on Day 1 and through the Gap task.
Testing in Context: Investigate the role of tests in Assessment for Learning, Formative, and summative assessments while cautioning against their short-term use for summative judgments.
Learning Talks: Learn how to prepare and conduct structured conversations with students about their learning based on curriculum expectations.
Prior Learning Assessments: Discover how to assess what students remember from previous lessons, providing a fuller picture of their educational journey.
Comparative Judgement: Delve into this innovative assessment method, offering a different perspective on evaluating student progress.
By the end of Part 2, attendees will be well-equipped to navigate the complex landscape of educational assessment, armed with the tools, theories, and practical know-how to make assessment a powerful lever for learning.

We booked the 2 day Assessment across the Primary Curriculum course to be delivered in person to our group of 100 delegates. Differences about AFL, Formative & Summative assessment and ideas to be used for AFL were very useful. I would rate our booking as excellent - high quality training and interesting content with new ideas.
The course was very comprehensive and I can now explore areas in further detail as needed. Much of the presentation is transferable to short staff updates about assessment, for example clarification about different types of assessment. One of the school development areas for next year is assessment, so the course has supported planning for this. Thank you for the high quality presentation and materials. I would rate my booking with your company as excellent.
The distinction of the different types of assessment and the examples of many ways to conduct AFL was useful. I would rate my booking as excellent and relevant.
Please pass on my thanks to Chris and the team for another excellent training session.
