Learning experiences planned with the experiences and outcomes and design principles in mind will be rich and fulfilling. As you plan a variety of experiences you will consider what activities will engage the learners and allow them to develop. Planning Learning Experiences March 2014Pam Nesbitt Past-President, AHDS 29 30. Learners can develop higher-order thinking skills. Activities meet the varying learning needs of learners. Principles of curriculum design are used to inform teachers decisions about organising learning and their evaluations. Learning Experiences March 2014Pam Nesbitt Past-President, AHDS 30 31. Self Evaluation of Planning Where are we now? March 2014Pam Nesbitt Past-President, AHDS 31 32.

It is essential that staff use evidence of learning from a broad range of contexts to check how a learner is progressing. Evidence will come from day-to-day learning as well as from specific assessment tasks. The National Assessment Resource can help practitioners when deciding on what learners would need to say, write, do or make to demonstrate success. Types of Evidence March 2014Pam Nesbitt Past-President, AHDS 37 38. How do we assess? By using a variety of approaches and a range of evidence to demonstrate individuals learning. By planning assessment activities which are fit for purpose, reliable and proportionate. By working together to gather as much information as possible about learners achievements, strengths and next steps. By involving the learner. Say Write Make Do Assessment the Big Picture March 2014Pam Nesbitt Past-President, AHDS 38 39. Observations of learners discussions, presentations, tasks, investigations Self- and peer-assessment High quality questioning and dialogue Written responses A product report Accounts by others of what learners have done Types of Evidence March 2014Pam Nesbitt Past-President, AHDS 39 40. To support the learning and the learner and help plan the next steps to ensure progress. To provide assurances to parents, the children and others that progress is taking place. To provide a summary of what learners have achieved. To support transition at all levels 23 Purpose of Assessment March 2014Pam Nesbitt Past-President, AHDS 40 41. What do we assess? Why do we assess? When do we assess? Knowledge and understanding Skills Attributes and capabilities To support the learning process To promote learner engagement To determine the nature of the support required Routinely, as part of the learning and teaching process From time to time At transitions Assessment The Big Picture March 2014Pam Nesbitt Past-President, AHDS 41 42. For learners to demonstrate that they are progressing through levels, they will need opportunities to show that they: Have achieved a breadth of learning across the experiences and outcomes for an aspect of the curriculum Can respond to the level of challenge set out in the experiences and outcomes and are moving forward to more challenging learning in some aspects Can apply what they have learned in new and unfamiliar situations Progression through levels March 2014Pam Nesbitt Past-President, AHDS 42 43. Examples of where an increase in breadth can show that a learner is progressing include: a broadening amount of detail in the descriptions and explanations they give. a broadening use of more advanced language, formulae and equations a broadening range of texts, performances or presentations an improving range and competence in skills and concepts a growing confidence and competence in skills for learning, life and work in familiar and routine contexts Breadth 44. Examples of where an increase in challenge can show that a learner is progressing include: individuals becoming more adept at evaluating their own and others learning responding accurately and confidently to more complex contexts responding to and producing increasingly complex pieces of work, information and concepts learning in more complex contexts Challenge demonstrating increasing responsibility and independence in learning using and/or presenting increasingly complex texts in terms of length, structure, vocabulary, ideas, and/or concepts 45. Examples of progress in application of learning include: recording and presenting thinking in different ways creating texts to persuade, argue and explore ideas finding, selecting, sorting and linking information from a variety of sources presenting, analysing and interpreting evidence to draw conclusions Application using skills and knowledge in different situations using skills and knowledge in creative and innovative ways using information for different purposes 46.
