About this course
How might we assess pupil’s learning in primary Science? What are we looking for? When and how should we look for it?
This course aims to bring together both curriculum design and assessment strategies with a focus on assessing learning in primary science.
The course will begin by considering progression in the science curriculum in both the substantive knowledge and disciplinary knowledge to work scientifically We will use this thinking to inform what we assess and how we might assess learning in primary science.
We will explore key principles of formative assessment including thinking about methods of assessment for those with barriers to learning.
Examples of pupil outcome will be shared so that schools can consider how this might look within their own setting.
This course is ideal for subject leaders and senior/curriculum leaders.
It costs £59 per delegate
