Course Details Assessing science enables teachers to track pupils’ progress in order to inform futureteaching and learning. With the loss of the level descriptors teachers will have to monitorand track pupils’ progress in science in a different way. ‘Primarily Science’ has produced aprogression, assessment and tracking tool to help support schools in doing this.Participants will have the opportunity to examine this tool and learn how it can easilybe adapted to use in their schools. They will then explore a range of ‘Assessment forLearning’ techniques and strategies for confirming progress, and will consider how theycan be implemented in the primary classroom.Course participants will:?? Know how to track pupil progress in science.?? Understand how to use and adapt the “Primarily Science’ Progression , Assessmentand Tracking Primary Science tool” in their school.?? Use a range of ‘Assessment for Learning’ strategies effectively to promote children’slearning.?? Make confident and reliable teacher assessments of science and identify andplanning for children’s next steps.?? Moderate their judements...
