Next ‘primary’ meeting is to be in Exmouth. 10/01/18

Wednesday Jan 10, 2018 from 1:30PM to 5:30PM

“Establishing issues, challenges and opportunities of assessment at key stages 1 and 2. There will be an introduction to some established models but importantly the outcome is to establish where further development or support is needed. The aim of the sessions is to establish a shared understanding of both the challenges and opportunities in establishing accurate, valid, and efficient assessment. Assessment systems in the past that have failed to gain traction because they did not engage teachers from day one.”

Resulting from the first meeting are:

? A set of key statements made about the nature of assessment of computing in the primary phase ? A number of emerging themes derived from those statements ? A table of self-assessment statements
