Assessments
Assessment Overview
Assessment is an integral part of our learning and teaching. It facilitates daily ongoing review of individual progress and impacts on planning and target-setting for each child. In each phase of the school, students will have personal learning targets based on assessment outcomes.
Assessment is done in two ways:
Assessment FOR Learning
Assessment OF Learning
Assessment FOR Learning
This is the regular, daily assessments teachers do in order to review how well any individual child has learned a particular concept. In happens in lessons through teacher observations, discussions and questions and after lessons by marking students’ work. This means that teachers can plan next steps in learning based on what students have mastered in any given lesson.
Assessment OF Learning
There are three main types of assessment used to assess learning at the end of a unit or portion of work or at the end of a particular stage of education:
- Internal assessments
- Recognised curriculum benchmark assessments
- Standardised assessments
