Assess, moderate, monitor and track primary science

A Course for science subject leaders and/or senior managers.

The loss of the levels in science and a move towards a mastery approach to the curriculum has left many schools wondering what the best way forward is.

This one day course is aimed at science subject leaders and/or senior managers.

During the day we will introduce a robust but manageable solution to the requirement to accurately assess, moderate, monitor and track, pupil progress in science.

You will explore how when good practice in formative assessment and summative judgment work closely together learning opportunities are maximised for the children you teach.

You will take a closer look at the moderation materials and have opportunity to discuss how best to moderate your decisions to ensure confidence in your judgements.

Delegates will leave with electronic resources including a tracking system, progression grids and assessment activities that can easily be adapted to work in their schools.
