It is not a bad thing as it has been portrayed in the media recently. It is a great way to show progress in a consistent way.

Key note speaker discussed thePaCT- progress and assessment

tool which will help teachers to make accurate teacher judgements concerning the level each child is performing at in regards the National Standards. This tool will help us to eliminate any guess work or uncertainty by providing clear guidelines and examples.]]> 2013-07-30 04:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/roomfuck/u6p3k03517/wish/11439619 Gwynneth https://padlet.com/roomfuck/u6p3k03517/wish/11439622 Practical ideas to move my kids from stage 5 to stage 6.

Emphasis of ensuring that children has a very sound understanding of key ideas before moving them.

PACT TOOL sounded like it could be helpful when making O.T.Js -more consistent judgments  

Exploring the language of fractions was also great- making sure that children really understand what a fraction is -great resorurces

 informative I did a great hands on workshop on fractions with lots of fun examples and this also reiteratted the importance of a using the correct language.

The other workshop I attended helped me to focus on my role as a leader of mathematics and what this looks like in my school.

One key message I took away from the day was that teacher knowledge needs to be increased and I look forward to developing this wihtin my school.
