Judging Performance
The process of assessing students work should, in my opinion check their level of understanding of the task. It should show the strengths and weaknesses of their work and also how they might improve it and with that provide a platform for self development. Assessment should not be solely delivered by the teacher, but rather be a two way process between pupil and teacher. The more that can be done in class, with the students, the better because once the student has moved on to a new piece of work then most of the learning has passed. For any skill based subject assessment should be about praise and advice.
In the next part, you will see how to implement the Key Stage System.
