Aims of the sessionTo consider how you are monitoring progress in relation to• Targets on your Action Plan (school level)• Identified pupils in the focus group (Pupil
level)
OFMDFM Signature Project
Monitoring• Why?• Who?• When?• What?• How?• Open, shared and transparent?• Linked to targets on action plan? Pupil

What is Monitoring?
Monitoring is the activity that is undertaken routinely to keep a check on progress and to check that what is supposed to be happening is happening in the way that was planned
OFMDFM Signature Project
Monitoring and Evaluation
OFMDFM Signature Project
School level• Action plan aligned with the school’s school development plan• Action plan/s completed using NISPLAN website (English,
Mathematics, Irish) by 30th October • Baseline performance data recorded on school action plan/s (key stage
2 / GCSE)• Performance targets set for 2013-14• Monitoring of progress through the NISPLAN website (December,
February)• Analysis of qualitative and quantitative data• Self-Evaluation by participating teachers• Evaluation of the project (June)
Monitoring and EvaluationPupil level• Individual pupils identified for support using performance
data• Baseline information recorded for individual pupils• Targets and success criteria set for individual pupils• Detail of specific intervention planned • Monitoring of individual pupil progress against performance
targets (December and February)• Pupil questionnaires and attitudinal studies used
OFMDFM Signature Project
Monitoring and EvaluationSystem level• Assessment of action plans through the NISPLAN website• Monitoring of progress through the NISPLAN website (December, February)• Analysis of qualitative and quantitative data • Progress measured against PfG targets and Count, Read: Succeed milestones • Sharing of effective practice through the NISPLAN website and teacher
training sessions• Principal information sessions/ meetings• CASS officer information sessions and workshops• Evaluation of training and support for teachers• Progress updates and evaluation reports to the WELB implementation team,
ASEO group, SOG, DE, ETI
OFMDFM Signature Project
Process• Monitor pupils’ progress first against
individual targets set• Quantify the information you have gained
from this monitoring• Look at the targets on your Action plan- Are
you on track? If not, Why not?• Use this information to complete the
monitoring form on the website
OFMDFM Signature Project
“How are we doing? How do we know?”
• What are you measuring against?• What evidence do you have to support your
monitoring?• What are you doing with the results of your
monitoring? • Who is informed by this information?• What will you do differently?
OFMDFM Signature Project
Sources of Evidence for monitoring pupil progress
• Samples of work/ tasks/ tests• Your observations/ records • Pupil’s opinions/attitudes • Pupil Learning Logs• Parents’ opinions• Transfer of skills to other curricular areas • Class teacher’s opinion• Your own “Self Evaluation”
OFMDFM Signature Project
School Priorities• Connect progress to SDP priorities• Use information to monitor progress on
targets on Action plan• Provide information for class teachers/ HODs/

Compare how attitudes towards other people are shown in four poems you have studied.
‘Digging’ by Seamus Heaney is about his memory of his father and grandfather. The poem shows that Heaney has great respect for his father and grandfather. He has not followed the family tradition of farming and he therefore respects his father and grandfather because they could do something he couldn’t. His admiration is shown where he writes ‘but I’ve no spade to follow men like them.’ The way that he has written ‘men like them’, clearly shows his great respect for them.

Sample essay - Gillian Clarke In ‘Catrin’, Clarke uses metaphorical
language to emphasise her passion for the subject. ‘Red rope of love’ creates powerful image of an umbilical cord. Catrin does not have a rhyming scheme and consist of two stanzas.
Clarke also uses words that sound violent, for example ‘fierce confrontation’ emphasis her feelings with harsh sounding letters and a symbolic meaning. She uses alliteration to emphasise her angry feelings ‘coloured them clean’

Sample essay 2 - Gillian Clarke
‘Catrin’,
Clarke uses metaphorical language. ‘Red rope of love’ is powerful. There is not a rhyming scheme but there are two stanzas.
Clarke uses harsh words. She has symbolic meanings. She uses alliteration to emphasise her angry feelings ‘coloured them clean’.
Why? What does this show or represent?
EXPLAIN your point to get the
marks.
Overall, this reads like a list of features not an analysis of the poem and
will not achieve a C
Not helpful and dull – make a
point explaining the effect

Add in your ideas.
This is better as it is trying to analyse an effect and the
impact on the reader.
Sample essay 3 - Gillian Clarke ‘Babysitting’
Clarke reveals in ‘Babysitting’ that she has a negative attitude towards the child. This is shown when she writes: ‘she will shout her hot midnight rage, her nose with stream disgustingly’. The negative language impacts on the reader and helps to justify Clarke’s distaste.
The baby in Babysitting is not Clarke’s baby so she does not therefore bond with it. At the beginning of the poem Clarke explains that ‘the baby is perfectly acceptable’ but her language is ambivalent and shows how distant she is from the baby because it is not hers.
At the end of the poem, Clarke says ‘it will not come, it will not come’, this is referring to milk as it is not her child but also it is referring to love – she cannot love this child. The repetition emphasises the finality and sadness of it all.

Reading criteria to meet
• “understands and demonstrates how meaning is conveyed” central band 4-6 descriptor
• Developed to include “evaluating(commenting on/ making judgements about) language and structure as appropriate”

• Paragraphing is used effectively to make the sequence of events or development of ideas coherent and clear to the reader.
• Sentence structures are varied and sometimes bold; punctuation and spelling are accurate.
Speaking and Listening criteria
• Can adapt their talk to the demands of different situations and contexts;
• They recognise when Standard English is required and use it confidently;
• Through carful listening and by developing their own and others’ ideas, they make significant contributions to discussion and participate effectively in creative activities.
Exam technique
• Fitting in with study skills in whole-school• Memory skills• Target/ command verbs• Identifying the most problematic questions
and addressing them point by point• Resources from exam boards
