Administration for the day


Objectives for today:

• Review progress in school and share the examples of practice that are developing.

• Consider how the outcomes of APP can be recorded and monitored and used to underpin curriculum development

• Consider how APP can be evolved and imbedded across your science department


Outline for this afternoon

• Session 1: Introduction and review progress

• Session 2: Recording and monitoring APP

• Session 3: Planning and adapting APP

• Session 4: Next steps – evolving practice


Session one

Introduction and review progress


Getting started

• What do you know about APP?

• Complete the quiz on APP – how expert are you?

• Answers


Mid course task - Feedback

• In October:– “Complete an APP activity with a class and bring

along some evidence to show how the pupils have responded at different levels”

• Work in table groups. • Share the outcomes of the work you have done in

school.• Each table should agree 1 outcome to feedback to the

rest of the group.


PMIQ

• In table groups discuss how the implementation of APP is happening in your department.

• Note Positives / Minuses / Interesting points and Questions (separately) on postit notes and place on posters around the room


Session two

Recording and monitoring APP


How are you doing it now?

• On tables discuss how you are presently recoding and monitoring APP in school

– What are the lessons learnt so far?

– What do you see as the next steps?


Example of evolving practice:

• NQTs





Remember APP is

• about the teachers professional judgement and does not replace all other forms of assessment;

• Supports the assessment processes and is not independent of it;


“Feeding the machine”

APP is NOT a test completed at regular intervals

APP is NOT a portfolio per pupil

Spreadsheet two


Session three

Planning and adapting APP

Examples of practice from across the region


Sharing good practice

• APP level mountains• Sir William Ramsay School – Stem Cell Lesson• Aylesbury High – Solubility Curves• Cressex – Renewable energy• ‘I can do’ sheets


Task: Planning an activity to assess pupil progress

• Look at the spreadsheet for the class recording progress against APP criteria

• Consider how you would move the pupils in the class forward in 1 AF


Task – continued

• Draft a lesson plan accordingly, incorporating lesson objectives, outcomes linked to APP criteria and teaching and learning activities

• Record your lesson plan on flipchart paper


Session four

Next steps – evolving practice


Mid course task

• Before the next training (afternoon 5th May 2010) undergo some moderation of work within the department

• Bring along some examples of moderated work to the meeting and be prepared to talk about the process
