Session 1: APP and AfL

Crown copyright 2008

Objectives

• To outline the purpose of the day and place it in the context of the National Strategies’ plan

• To remind subject leaders of the place of APP in the DCSF’s AfL strategy

• To discuss the importance of APP within new assessment arrangements for KS3

Slide 1.1


Slide 3

Strong senior and subject leadership, departments working

collaboratively, secure self evaluation processes

Securing consistent pupil performance across core subjects

(addressing factors influencing in-school variation)

Planning for progression

Strengthening subject

pedagogy

Tracking pupils’ progress

including AfL and APPProviding personalised

intervention

Slide 1.2


Slide 4

£150 million over three years to support schools indeveloping their use of assessment for learning

2008 – funding for all schools based

on £1000 per school plus a sum

for each pupil

2009 to 2010 – targeted funding for those

schools that need extra help and those who can

share good practice

Funding

Slide 1.3


The objectives of the AfL Strategy include:

2008 – 2009Every school introduced to APP in English

and mathematics, and offered training

2009 – 2010To offer direct support to schools that have

not managed to establish APP

Slide 1.4

AFL

• What do understand by AFL?

• What does good AFL look like in the classroom?

• How is AFL CPD working in your school / department?


Slide 8

Day-to-day

Learning objectives made explicit and shared with pupilsPeer and self-assessment in usePupils engaged in their learning and given immediate feedback

PeriodicBroader view of progress across subject for teacher and learnerUse of national standards in the classroomImprovements to medium-term curriculum planning

TransitionalFormal recognition of pupils’ achievementReported to parents/carers and next teacher(s)May use external tests or tasks

Slide 1.5


Slide 9

APP is a structured set of resources and guidance to support periodic assessment against national standards

Slide 1.6

What is APP?


Two purposes of APP

Periodic assessment to track pupils’ progress using National Curriculum levels and sub-levels including the identification of pupils requiring intervention support

Informing teaching and learning through:• Pupil curricular targets• Curriculum planning and review

Session 2: Planning, Assessment & Intervention


Objectives

• To clarify the role of learning objectives and assessment criteria

• To identify the advantages of periodic assessment

• To consider the role of APP in supporting effective intervention

Slide 2.2


Accurate marking by the

teacher provides pupils with

feedback; important work has

been marked by pupils or

teacher.

Teachers’ marking identifies

errors and underlying

misconceptions and helps

pupils to overcome difficulties,

for example by setting clear

targets to which pupils

respond and teachers check

against.

Slide 2.3


Learning objectives and assessment criteria

• Learning objectives are used for planning

• Assessment criteria are used for assessing pupils’ progress

Slide 2.4


• How could this activity be introduced and developed over a series of lessons?

• Which learning objectives would be included?

Slide 2.5


Using objectives and criteria

In pairs, discuss:• What role do the assessment criteria have?• When would they be used?• What specific activities or ways of working would

ensure that appropriate evidence is captured?• How is this different from the way in which the

objectives are used?

Slide 2.10


An example

A group of pupils:• Decided that a good ‘target’ probability for

getting a six was 25%• Tested their ‘dodgy dice’ by rolling it 12

times – and got 3 sixes• Concluded that the target probability was

achieved

Slide 2.11


Progression maps: probability step 6

Estimate probabilities from experimental data; understand that:

• if an experiment is repeated, there will be different outcomes;

• increasing the number of times an experiment is repeated generally leads to better estimates of probability.
