Monitoring, Assessment, Recording, Reporting and Accountability (Primary)

by RitaHeadington (Author)

Synopsis

This comprehensive, practical second edition has been updated in line with the new standards for qualified teacher status, in particular the competence in monitoring and assessment. Writing primarily for student and newly qualified teachers, whose classroom experience is necessarily limited, the author takes pains to elucidate why to assess, what to assess and how to assess. Theory and practice are linked throughout by way of case studies, activities and discussion points. Question and answer format, children's work and authentic written records are used to exemplify monitoring and assessment in action as part of the planning cycle. Photocopiable examples of recording sheets and a glossary of terms provide readers with valuable starting points for their own practice.

Media Reviews
'Rita Headington skillfully demystifies the whole subject in a practical guide which puts the whole issue of assessment into the context of the classroom, never losing sight of the primary objective - helping pupils to learn. The clear and concise layout of the book makes for very easy reading and its user-friendly style means that it is also easy to dip into for specific references on particular subject areas. The content is well balanced including a useful and concise terminology section on each aspect of MARRA, the issues surrounding each aspect and the strategies that can be adopted to meet the standards required from trainee teachers. Perhaps the biggest compliment is that it is destined to become a very dogeared and well-thumbed book, being a constant source of reference for teachers everywhere. Although primarily written for student and newly qualified teachers, I view this as a book that can also be read by experienced teachers in order to refresh certain principles.'
