Assessment and progression in KS3 computing
CP212 Face to face course
For Key Stage 3 computing teachers who are new or existing to the subject. This CPD covers the key formative and assessment strategies needed in key stage 3 and beyond, including strategies relating to programming.
Skip to course booking- Assessment & Progression Overview – To start the day you’ll get to grips with the basic concepts of progression from end of KLS2 to beginning of KS4, looking at learning journeys and an overview of formative and summative assessment
- Formative Assessment – In this session you will look at strategies to identify misconceptions and gaps in student's understanding from a range of different methods as well as identifying the tools used to support in closing those gaps.
- Summative Assessment – In this session you will investigate how we plan for and use the results of summative assessment including user of baselines, rubrics and tracking
- Assessment in Programming – You will examine specific issues relating to assessment of programming before looking at how we plan for assessing programming and what strategies can be utilised.
