Progression ready?

• Why progression?
• Progression is at the heart of learning .
• Every Child Matters
• All levels, not some levels
• All years, not one year
• All teachers, not some teachers.
• All schools , not some schools

3
Schools which make great progress

• The heads have created time and capacity at
  senior level .
• They track pupils systematically, regularly and
  rigorously.
• Curriculum planning is cross-hatched by year and
  by subject ..
• Policies are top to toe using layered objectives
  .
• They prioritise the quality of teaching and
  learning and tend to be inductive and inclusive .

4
Implications for assessment in KS3.

• Neither SATS nor SLTS in KS3.
• Increased significance of APP for Heads to
  monitor cohorts .
• Likely that we will take national samples to
  track trends .
• Expert group will recommend new measures.
• National targets at KS3 will be stood down
• Likely to move to KS2-4.
• Pilot schools will continue to collect TA data
  each term.
• Progress measures are likely to appear in the
  school report card .

9

11

• If the Assessment For Learning Strategy is
  embedded within a school how would the behaviour
  of
• the school,
