Chris Quigley On-Demand

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 a wide range of ideas to help with assessment.

Common approaches to assessment include the labelling (emerging, expected, exceeding) of attainment or its quantification (3 points of progress). This quantitative approach to assessment has very little value beyond national evaluations. Chris will demonstrate how schools can create a qualitative progression model. He will also show how such a model gives schools genuine evidence of student progress. Learn about:

a) How to clearly define learning and progress

b) Threshold concepts

c) Broad curriculum goals

d) Unpacking curriculum goals with specific knowledge

e) How to create Portrayal of Progress (POP) Tasks

f) The difference between curriculum goals and the route to them.

This session will focus on the use of a curriculum progression model to secure and assess progress. It will explore practical strategies for using the model for:

a) Assessment for learning

b) Formative assessment

c) Summative assessment.
