ASSIGNMENT: A portfolio of evidence to illustrate the assessment of maths learning for a particular pupil

This assignment is designed to demonstrate your understanding of monitoring practices in schools (how pupils' progress is tracked, targets set and checked) and how the assessments can be used to impact upon planning.

What has replaced the use of assessing by levels in your school? Select a non-SEN pupil that you teach from year 7, 8, 9 or 10. What is expected?

Question 1. A description of the pupil and a summary overview of their assessment and monitoring records, from both summative and formative assessments.

You can include any records from any sources that you consider relevant, but the emphasis should be on attainment in maths (300- 400 words).

Question 2. An analysis of recent work in maths. Choose a range of recent assessment evidence and analyse it in detail, providing a written account of what this evidence shows about the pupil's current attainment and how you have arrived at your judgement. You must clearly show the evidence for any judgements you make (also include copies of the pupil's work in the appendix) (750-900 words)

Question 3. Suggestions for a way forward. Consider the evidence of current performance from your analysis and suggest strategies that could be adopted by teachers to ensure progress in meeting any needs that you have identified and any advice that should be given to adults who help the pupil.

Make these points specific, referring to the evidence cited elsewhere. (750 -900 words) You must support your suggestions with research evidence.
