SRP, starting next week.
Teachers told to select pupils based on diagnostic tests.
But why?
If SRP is a means to help close the learning gap (AfL, 3rd question), the "diagnostic" (AfL 2nd question) should be done at the end of last year.
Since SRP is an ongoing thing for every year,
If the SOW is a continuous flow from sec 3 to 4, and
If the end of year exam was analysed in a certain way (itemised, etc),
the key topics for revision during SRP for the can be structured and planned out. The students for SRP would have been selected by the end of the previous year.
Indeed, if we don't already have assessment data from SA2, then SA2 is only a Summative Assessment.
ReplyDeleteThe greater challenge is not the item analysis to identify pupils' learning gaps, but the skill to craft discerning and sharply discriminating items for the assessment. This skill in assessment items is clearly lacking. We press on in this area.
