  Welcome!
  Welcome to the first of a series of online learning modules relating to the effective implementation of the diagnostic assessments.
  
  This online learning module is currently being piloted by a series of schools and individuals who have expressed interest.
  If you are on the pilot for this course, ensure you complete:
  The pre-training questionnaire before starting.
  The post-training questionnaire at the end of Part 1. This includes your results and analysis from the moderation activity. Details of how to send a copy of your assessment recording sheet anonymously are provided in the post-training questionnaire.
  The link for the questionnaires should be available through your Head Teacher (if you are doing this as a whole school) or you may have been sent this personally. It is also in the Pre-Course Questionnaire Section within the course contents.
  
  We hope you enjoy the course and find it useful.
Course learning outcomes
By the end of this course you should have a better understanding of:
- The stages of thinking that pupils move through in addition and subtraction (including their connection with Early Level through to the beginning of Third Level).
- How to deliver the addition and subtraction diagnostic assessment.
- How to record pupils' thinking during the diagnostic assessment.
- How to score the diagnostic assessment including:
- Identifying next steps based on the assessments.
- Analysing the results of the assessments.
It is also hoped that staff will gain a better understanding of the range of strategies that pupils use to solve addition and subtraction problems.

Course was very easy to follow and complete. Most challenging part was finding where I had left off each time!
