PRIMARY
Learning & Teaching / / A toolkit to support Subject Leaders and teachers with the following key areas:☺ Effective assessment for learning practices
☺ Planning for progression from the Primary Framework including 90 unit overviews - one for every unit in every block in every year.
☺ Effective questioning – Enhanced versions of the AfL questions in the Primary Framework in PPT format to enable use with whole class, guided group work or individuals
☺ Effective dialogue
☺ Peer and self assessment – paper and electronic versions
☺ Assessing for progression including resources such as ‘Building a Picture’ grids, a ‘Levelopaedia’ for each national curriculum level and an electronic version of the National Strategies APP grid incorporating learning outcomes and probing questions
☺ Interactive Yearly objective overviews incorporating the progression in ‘I can …’ statements
Planning Overviews / Each unit overview is double sided and supports the planning process for every unit in every block in every year.
- Side 1 is the ‘big picture’ of the unit including prior learning, Key vocabulary, Learning overview, APP opportunities, models and images, support for more and less able children and speaking and listening opportunities.
- Side 2 includes learning intentions and outcomes for the unit with features such as ‘I can ..’ statements, suggested ICT resources, Pitch and Expectations and AfL questions.
Effective Dialogue / A resource designed to support teachers in engineering effective dialogue and discussions. The intended learning for each objective from every unit in the Primary Framework is made explicit by having an appropriate ‘I can ..’statement, linked a probing question and suggested ‘Pitch and Expectation’ question.
Planning for Progression / Progression grids to support teachers with effective differentiation and provision for all children in their class. Objectives have been matched with ‘I can...’ statements, probing questions and ‘Pitch and Expectation’ questions so that when teaching within a specific strand, a teacher can consider the progression of learning across year groups.
