How do you know if your staff are comfortable using your new curriculum?
Do you all agree on the value of assessment judgements, now that levels have gone?
To make a success of curriculum change, you need to make sure all of these things are truly linked:
? how you teach it
? how you assess against it
? how you test it
? how you report it
Now is the time to review your systems for keeping track of it all. Classroom Monitor's survey of English primary schools show 40% are still relying on paper and basic MIS*. But this won't give you a holistic view of what's happening in your school, and it won't tell you if your curriculum is working or not. Really, formative assessment should link everything together and inform your direction.
Classroom Monitor is an online progress tracker and curriculum manager. It links formative assessment to everything you do. So wherever there's an obstacle to learning, you can see it and solve it as early as possible. Find out how we can support your school this term and beyond.
