Product Description

Every school is required to have explicit curriculum plans and an assessment policy which has to be adapted to the demands of the target setting. Class teachers also have to demonstrate to OFSTED inspectors that they have planned their teaching to allow for effective assessment. This guide places the different styles and and purposes of assessment in the context of school-based curriculum planning, teaching and target-setting, and aims to put the child at the heart of the process.
