A course for Key Stage 1 teachers and mathematics subject leaders

Assessment is a vital part of learning and teaching. Ongoing assessment is an important tool for measuring how children’s skills, knowledge and understanding are progressing. Assessment gives teachers and children the opportunity to reflect on, and further develop, mathematical learning. The emphasis will be on what children can do rather than what they cannot do.

On this course you will:

• have an opportunity to discuss a range of assessment methods
• look at ongoing formative assessment, including children’s self-assessment
• explore ways of finding out what children are able to do and understand
• consider appropriate activities and resources to support assessment
• be given time to develop ideas for use in your own classroom
