GL Assessment is bringing leading educational experts together at the Education Show 2016 to provide teachers with guidance and support on key issues relating to assessment in schools.
For primary schools looking for clarity on life after levels, secondary schools preparing for Progress 8, and SENCOs looking to identify and support children following the new SEND Code of Practice, GL Assessment will be offering seminars on each of these themes. Their in-house team of assessment experts will also be available on stand D70 to offer advice on how to use assessment data most effectively.
Talking about the raft of new initiatives, Sarah Haythornthwaite, GL Assessment’s Marketing Director, said: “In the last two years, we’ve seen the removal of national curriculum levels, the introduction of new performance measures, and the new SEND Code of Practice, which all have massive implications for assessment in schools. Our aim is to help teachers clarify what good assessment looks like and how it can support them in this time of change.”
The presentations include:
In addition, GL Assessment will showcase their award-winning assessments on their stand, including theProgress Test Series and the Complete Digital Solution, both of which been shortlisted for an Education Resources Award 2016.
