Event details

Assessing science enables teachers to track pupils' progress in order to inform future teaching and learning. With the loss of the levels descriptors teachers will have to monitor and track pupils' progress in science in a different way. Primarily Science has produced a progression, assessment and tracking tool to help support schools in doing this.

This course is also running at Kent Science Resource Centre and Willowcroft Community School, Didcot. See below for dates.

Participants will have the opportunity to examine this tool and learn how it can easily be adapted to use in their schools. They will then explore a range of assessment for learning techniques and strategies for confirming progress and will consider how they can be implemented in the primary classroom.

Participants will:

  • know how to track pupil progress in science
  • understand how to use and adapt the Primarily Science Progression, Assessment and Tracking Primary Science Tool in their school
  • use a range of assessment for learning strategies effectively to promote children's learning
  • make confident and reliable teacher assessments of science and identify and plan for children's next steps

Teachers will leave with the Assessing and Tracking in Primary Science in Curriculum 2014 pack produced by Primarily Science. This can then be freely adapted to suit the needs of individual schools.

This course is also available on:

27th January 2015, Kent Science Resource Centre, Sittingbourne

29th January 2015, Willowcroft Community School, Didcot

Cost: £120 including resources and refreshments and lunch on the day
