-WIDA testing for grade 4 and 5 once a year
-New Zealand JAM Math assessments are used in PREP and Grade 1. For PREP we used it in the beginning of the year to determine what the students already know, to guide planning for the year and then tested again at the end of the year to show progress or lack off.
-PM Benchmark for reading assessments.
Above are all the "formal" assessments.

Munira]]> 2019-08-29 06:18:02 UTC https://padlet.com/universityofwarwick/78f3aah6sip4/wish/378169212 We're using the Rising Stars progress Tests for Maths, Reading comprehension, Science and SPaG for sumve assessment. We use the Oxford Reading Tree Criterion Scale (ORCS) for reading and the Schonell Graded Spelling Test for spelling. For Writing, the policy is changing at the moment and a new one is being put in place. There's not a policy for the other baseline diagnostic tests. We are required to do assessment for learning during every lesson that we teach and mark the classwork within a day with written feedback. The works marked for English and Maths have to be linked to the KPI. We have weekly Spelling tests and Maths test on Friday. https://padlet.com/universityofwarwick/78f3aah6sip4/wish/378215453 Nico]]> 2019-08-29 10:29:49 UTC https://padlet.com/universityofwarwick/78f3aah6sip4/wish/378215453 Assessment Policy-Ryan https://padlet.com/universityofwarwick/78f3aah6sip4/wish/378225111 The school's Assessment Policy is around "Learning outcomes, which include knowledge and understanding of a subject as well as cognitive, personal and academic skills should be explicitly stated in each unit of work and these should be the pivot around which the whole course is developed."
The main purposes for assessment are to determine what has been learned and what needs to be learned. That includes assessing at the beginning in order to understand prior knowledge, assessing as we teach in order to go over material, move along, and to change direction if necessary during each lesson. It is ongoing and diagnostic in order to provide ongoing data about learner's readiness to move forward. We use the IB standards and relevant rubrics to guide the learning process.]]> 2019-08-29 11:32:07 UTC https://padlet.com/universityofwarwick/78f3aah6sip4/wish/378225111 Reception- Development matters https://padlet.com/universityofwarwick/78f3aah6sip4/wish/378229295 Through out the school year, the class teacher highlights the early learning goals to show that a child has met the standards. Kei]]> 2019-08-29 11:50:45 UTC https://padlet.com/universityofwarwick/78f3aah6sip4/wish/378229295 https://padlet.com/universityofwarwick/78f3aah6sip4/wish/378231596 2019-08-29 11:58:22 UTC https://padlet.com/universityofwarwick/78f3aah6sip4/wish/378231596
