Whilst assessment can take two forms, formative and summative, the breadth and depth of study covered by a science curriculum means assessment can take many forms within these two remits. This course will leave you with practical ideas to try in your classroom as you investigate and develop your understanding of using learning opportunities to gauge progress over time.

Good assessment is achieved through well planned activities that have clear purpose and can be used multiple times. Assessment should provide opportunities for students to express and display their understanding as they progress through a task. However, there is a balance between the priority of the exam boards to implement a reliable and valid system whilst prioritising systems that motivate students.
At the end of the course, you will have a comprehensive understanding of the mapping of assessment skills across Ks3 and how these are built upon in Ks4 enabling you to:
Select which strategies will best develop student understanding.
Assess progress towards a goal and evaluate what needs to be done to promote learning.
Create opportunities for ‘snapshots’ or a summary of progress over a period of time.
Regardless of the method ‘something’ has to happen as a result of assessment, it should be progressive and responsive forcing you to ask hard questions: Are we teaching what we think we are teaching? Are students learning what they are supposed to be learning? Is there a way to teach the subject better thus promoting better learning?
