Event details
Science is still a core subject and to maintain its profile in the curriculum it is essential that the progress children make in this subject is tracked and monitored effectively.
With the release of the new descriptors at the end of each key stage teachers will need to be aware of how to use the new assessments in a whole school policy. This course will provide you with realistic management of monitoring and tracking progress in science across the school, as well as ideas and activities to gain greater understanding of children's attainment. The course will also look at an updated national model for the external moderation of teacher assessment when it is available and the use of nationally developed exemplification of the work of pupils for each performance descriptor at the end of each key stage.
Following the course participants will be able to:
- Understand the principles of moderation of science in their school
- know how to track progress through school and national moderation exemplifications
- use techniques to elicit understanding of the children's progress in science and gather realistic and manageable evidence to support this
Course fee: Normally £130, early bird booking fee of £99 is available when booked before 1st October 2015.
