1:1 Diagnostic Assessments - Highland Numeracy

jhbewsey1 — 2023-07-30 09:13:19 UTC

Based on our foundational methodology, SEAL, this Highland Council diagnostic assessment is an incredibly powerful tool for identifying underlying 'gaps' in numerical learning.

It is NOT a 'quick fix' but does provide invaluable insights into pupil learning. It is best completed 1:1, administered by a trained adult. The resulting 'next steps' should then form part of an individual's support plan.

For training and support, just contact the #SBCway curriculum team.

Exploring the Assessments - Cohort Numeracy Assessment

gw17turnbullemma — 2024-01-17 17:07:49 UTC

Early level, First level and Second level

The DNA assessments should be done on Magma Maths. Assessment dates are:

12/01/26 - 06/02/26

11/05/26 - 05/06/26

The paper documents will be deleted from the padlet in the coming weeks.

These cohort assessments have been created by Midlothian (called DNAs) - our thanks to them for sharing with us.
