Reviewing impact in science teaching and learning - reflection and next steps

In this webinar, we consider how to gauge impact over the past academic year in your setting by asking:

  • What impact has there been on science teaching and learning?
  • What are the appropriate next steps to improving the teaching and learning of science?
  • How can we raise the profile of science?

Through asking these questions, we will create manageable, achievable goals for the next academic year.

Assessment in primary science - making it manageable and meaningful

In this webinar we will talk about using assessment to inform responsive teaching and support learning. We will reflect on what we ask children to record for assessment purposes. We will showcase a range of freely available resources and explain how you can use these for elicitation of children’s prior knowledge to support your planning, and for assessment of children’s subject knowledge and enquiry skills. We will consider how all these strategies can be brought together for summative reporting and the challenges that teachers face in balancing the manageability of assessment processes with validity and reliability.

When you leave this session, you will:

  • Have a range of Assessment for Learning strategies to try in your classroom.
  • Have an awareness of how PLAN resources and TAPS focused assessment plans can support your planning, assessment and moderation.
  • Be aware of how you could use the TAPS pyramid to evaluate and develop your school’s assessment processes.
