1 Exploring assessment

You should refer to the QCDA attainment target for ICT [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)] or open the document QCDA curriculum attainment target for ICT.

  • Open the document Reviewing learning outcomes part 1.
  • Consider the worksheet on the second page which has been adapted from an actual scheme of work and was used for classes of mixed ability pupils who had just left their primary school and were in their first three weeks of the Autumn term.

    It is helpful but not essential to have a colleague with whom you can discuss the points and consider what you would have done differently in your school.

  • When you feel you feel ready, move on to Reviewing learning outcomes part 2 which will help you consider how to improve learning outcomes and assessment.

Reflection

Consider an example from your own lesson planning and a piece of pupil's work from the lesson. How might you improve or re-focus learning outcomes?

Think about the type of activity which would enable your pupils to produce evidence of higher levels. How does this affect your planning for the next term?
