The IPC Assessment for Learning Programme focusses all of our attention on the right thing...children’s learning. What are the children learning and what do we need to teach them next? These are the questions we are always asking ourselves. The IPC’s Assessment for Learning Programme helps the children to understand when they need to practise a skill and when they have actually got something and therefore can move on. It puts children at the centre of learning and that’s got to be a good thing!
We go one step further and like to call assessment, "learning check ins" this takes the pressure off children to feel like they need to succeed and there is a possibility of failure. As learners work through the unit of work there are learning check ins along the way, these give an opportunity to reflect on learning and for the teacher and learner to see where they are at in their learning journey. beginning, developing or mastering.
