Strategies and Tools

Break up Learning

Practise

We aim to prepare learners for formal and national testing, while still making the learning relevant to themes and context. We break up learning and then give them the strategies and tools to apply their learning, so they are actually prepared for the challenges ahead. Modelled writing, questions, answers, steps to success and evaluation, along with an increased chance to practise exam type questions, aid us in doing this.

Different abilities can access different stages in our methodology, with some gaining confidence with repetition and some progressing immediately to apply their learning. The important factor is that all will have the chance to achieve their potential and have this shown in formal testing.

On-line Assessment System

We have developed an on-line assessment system with the aim of putting teachers back in control. Using resources in Teaching Alive units the teacher will be able to:-

  • generate age related statistics giving a snapshot of a learner or a bigger picture of where a learner is, over a number of assessments;

  • generate evidence automatically with the on-line system replacing the many pieces of paper that can be collected in regular assessment systems; and

  • judge what should be assessed and use solid figures to easily and quickly make their own judgments of where a learner is in the curriculum.
