show case: Assessing pupils' progress
Education assessment programme implementation
Assessing Pupils' Progress (APP) is a structured approach to in-school assessment which:
- enables teachers to make judgements about their pupils’ attainment, keyed into national standards
- develops and refines teachers’ understanding of progression in their subject
- provides diagnostic information about the strengths and weaknesses of individual pupils and groups of pupils
- enables teachers to track pupils’ progress over time
- informs curriculum planning
- facilitates the setting of meaningful curricular targets that can be shared with pupils and parents
- promotes teaching that’s matched to pupils’ needs
- supports the transfer of meaningful information at key transitional points, e.g. from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 3
This programme developed, piloted, evaluated and then 'took to market' over a number of years the APP approach for English and Mathematics at key stages 1, 2 and 3 and then extended it to Science at key stages 1 and 2 and to other subjects at key stage 3 and to Speaking and Listening. Each stage had developed Assessment Guidelines, being criteria for each level to help teachers assess pupils' work in relation to national standards. Handbooks were developed to aid teachers in using the materials and approach and exemplars of pupils' performance were provided in standards files generated by teachers undertaking the pilots.
“Pupils have taken ownership of their own learning, they know where they are, where they need to go and can find out how to get there.” Key Stage 2 teacher
Towards the end of the development programme, in 2010 we led on the development and delivery of materials to support teachers engage with parents and pupils on progress, including what parents can do to help their child at home.
