What are experiences and outcomes? The title ‘experiences and outcomes’ recognises the importance of the quality and nature of the learning experience in developing attributes and capabilities and in achieving active engagement, motivation and depth of learning. An outcome represents what is to be achieved by the child.

Building the Curriculum 5 A Framework for Assessment and Reporting

Building the Curriculum 5 Learning engagement in assessment is crucial Teachers need to use many approaches to assessment Assessment should focus on breadth, challenge and assessment Professional dialogue (or ‘MODERATION’) is central to agreeing standards

How do we assess? Peer/Self assessment Observation by teacher/nursery nurse, on video Summative assessments (tests) PIPS (P1, P3, P5 and P7) and other diagnostic tests Tracking systems

Reporting in line with CfE Reporting should give information on:  literacy, numeracy and health and wellbeing  progress within and between levels and in relation to qualifications  strengths and areas for development  application of knowledge in different situations  the need for additional support, where relevant.
