• clarify success criteria

Pupils think for themselves

• make tasks as open-ended as possible

• allow choice of task (inc. homework)

• include a variety of ways of working inc. group & pair work

Pupils extend responses & explain their thinking

• plan open-ended questioning

• extend questioning based on pupil responses

• encourage pupils to ask questions

• variety of strategies to promote maximum engagement of all e.g. ‘no hands’ policy

Pupils achieve their full potential

• know the pupils well through dialogue and marking of their work

• plan differentiated tasks to meet their needs

Pupils know about their own progress

• inform the pupils of their levels of achievement

• show pupils examples of good, (assessed) work

Pupils know how to improve

• give opportunities for pupils to draft-mark-reflect-improve their work

• give opportunities for pupils to reflect on and review their targets

• give opportunities for pupils to use success criteria and objectives to assess their own and others’ work

Pupils assess themselves and others

• allow pupils to give feedback and set targets for themselves and others

Range & Complexity Marks Accuracy

Little that makes coherent sense! 0 Little evidence of understanding of basic linguistic structures.

Simple & repetitive vocabulary & structures, limited range, many cognates.

1 Limited understanding of basic linguistic structures.Consistent major errors.

Vocabulary appropriate to answer task in most basic form.Structures simple, repetitive, rarely linked.

2 Major errors in most sentences.Verb forms rarely accurate.

Vocabulary & structures appropriate to answer task,A little variety & some successful attempts to link sentences together.

3 Some major & frequent minor errors.Attempts at verb forms & tense formation often unsuccessful (but there should be some attempt).

Variety in vocabulary & some successful longer sentences using appropriate linking words.Some personal opinion successfully expressed.Some successful attempts at using more than one time frame.

4 Piece is more accurate than inaccurate.Verb forms & tense formation not always correct but meaning always clear.

Wider range of vocabulary, accurate descriptions & opinions,More regular & successful longer sentences with some attempt to use subordinate clauses.

5 Verb forms & tense formations generally accurate.Minor errors; major errors only when more complex structures attempted.

Effective use of wider range of vocabulary. Longer, more complex sentences handled with confidence, producing fluent coherence.

MFL Department KS3 results: National Curriculum Level 5+ %

Figure 4: Table shows the % of girls and boys achieving NC level 5+ over the last 5 years.

The national average % for level 5+ is still at around 52%. Whilst we expect pupils at CVC to perform above the national average, if we were to use the average differential in performance between CVC pupils at English, Maths and Science and the national average, which currently stands at 13.7%, to set a target for MFL % 5+ this would have been 65.7% for Summer 07.

Dynamic assessment: ‘the optimistic self-portrait’

“Assessment and instruction are dialectically integrated as a single activity that seeks to understand development by actively promoting it.”

Beyond the test: L2 Dynamic Assessment and the Transcendence of Mediated Learning. Poehner, M.E. 2007. The Modern Language Journal, 91, iii pp.323-340

Page 31: Assessment:  ‘the bigger picture’

Dynamic assessment: measuring potential achievement

Rachel Hawkes January 2008

• Most assessment measures what is already mastered

• Most assessment is not truly developmental

• Most feedback is not specific enough to be acted on

• Most achievement is not aspirational – i.e. it doesn’t indicate future potential

Summary: Using data for the learner• HODs use and understand multiple sources of

data and set year group/class targets• Teachers use data from HODs and own data to

set individual targets (in line with class targets)• Teachers use a range of strategies to ensure

that pupils understand the ‘landscape’ of the subject/course

• Teachers enable pupils to understand their own strengths and areas for development and share appropriate data to support this – ‘self-portrait’

• Assessment is(at its best) aspirational and developmental - Dynamic Assessment – ‘optimistic self-portrait’
