Assessment For The Future Core PresentationFoggyeyes
This document discusses changes in assessment practices in UK schools between 2003-2004 and 2009-2010. It outlines how the curriculum has become more flexible with an increased emphasis on skills, concepts, and real-world application. Teacher assessment has also been raised in status. The document also describes the implementation of Assessment for Learning (AfL) strategies, including the development of Assessment for Pupil Progress (APP) materials to support formative assessment. Finally, it argues that curriculum planning, teaching approaches, and assessment work most effectively when integrated together to support coherent and engaging learning.
The document discusses four views for representing courses: the pedagogy profile, course map, cost effectiveness, and course performance. It also mentions a proposed fifth view of a supporting narrative. The pedagogy profile examines student learning activities and tasks. The course map breaks down courses into five components: guidance & support, evidence & demonstration, communication & interaction, information & experience, and thinking & reflection. The cost effectiveness view analyzes the relationships between income, student numbers, and costs. The course performance view is based on student survey data. The document proposes developing exemplar courses using these representations and refining the views.
The document provides recommendations from a Bring Your Own Device pilot project in three Saskatoon public schools. It recommends establishing a leadership team to guide the initiative and support champions within the staff. It also stresses the importance of providing regular professional development opportunities for staff on transformative technology and assessing where students and staff are at to adjust support. Finally, it outlines suggestions for effective communication with parents, staff, and students about the initiative and ensuring the necessary infrastructure upgrades are in place.
Terry Handley - Assessing Pupils Progress in ICTNaace Naace
Assessing Pupils’ Progress (APP) is the new national approach to assessment that equips teachers to make judgments on pupils’ progress, fine-tune their understanding of learners’ needs, and tailors their planning and teaching accordingly. QCA have recently piloted this approach in ICT to compliment those already developed for Science, Mathematics and English. The pilot has been greeted enthusiastically by the teachers involved.
This session will introduce the methodology and some of the materials developed in addition to hearing from one of the pilot schools about their experience.

Grantham College implemented a strategy to increase usage of its virtual learning environment (VLE) across the organization. By 2009, only 65% of courses were using the VLE, but usage was inconsistent. The college developed guidelines for mandatory and recommended VLE content. It also created a VLE awards scheme to recognize and incentivize high quality VLE course development. As a result of these efforts, VLE usage grew substantially between 2010-2011, with increased student and staff interaction on the VLE platform. Close collaboration between managers and support for staff skills development were key factors in the successful implementation of the college's VLE strategy.

Presentation by Robert Hassell - Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER).
ABSTRACT
Since 2012 all Australian States and territories, and the Federal government, have endorsed an approach to school improvement that was originally developed by the Australian Council for Educational Research in conjunction with the Queensland State Government. While there is an increasing trend towards autonomy of school leadership, all schools in Australia are expected to write a school improvement plan. Rather than focusing purely on desired outcomes, the approach is based on the view that the most effective strategy for improving student achievement in schools is to improve the quality of day-to-day teaching and learning. In this presentation I will outline the research and development underpinning the National School Improvement Tool (ACER, 2012) and its current use for school improvement review and planning that focuses on these important behaviours.

This document discusses numeracy and provides recommendations for developing numeracy in schools. It defines numeracy as involving thinking and communicating quantitatively, making sense of data, understanding patterns and sequences, and recognizing situations where mathematical reasoning can be applied. The document notes a decline in mathematics scores for students in transition year and recommends whole-school, subject-based, and extra-curricular approaches to strengthen numeracy, including identifying weaknesses, collaboration among teachers, and activities to promote positive attitudes toward mathematics.
The document outlines a plan to implement an eLearning strategy at Unitec based on socio-constructivist learning principles. It proposes establishing communities of practice to understand learning contexts, model best eLearning practices with expert support, and identify collaborative opportunities over a six-month timeline. The plan aims to ground eLearning in real learning needs and celebrate successes along the way.
This document contains questions for teachers about how they incorporate numeracy skills into their subjects. It asks teachers to reflect on how well they collaborate with the math department, whether their teaching of calculations and procedures is consistent, and how effective they are at developing students' problem-solving abilities. The document also queries teachers about the most successful strategies for enhancing numeracy in students with special needs or strong math abilities, and resources that are useful for teaching numeracy in their subject. Teachers are further asked to consider changes to better facilitate numeracy development and the effectiveness of homework in consolidating students' numeracy learning.
The document discusses changes to OFSTED inspections that will take effect in September 2015, including:
- Adopting a common inspection framework for all education services, with key judgements in overall effectiveness, leadership, teaching, personal development, and outcomes.
- "Good" schools will receive short inspections every three years instead of full inspections every 3-5 years to reduce burden, while maintaining the ability to trigger full inspections for concerns or improved performance.
- Inspections will focus on sustained good quality provision, behavior, personal development, progress from starting points, national standards, and preparation for next stages. Assessment approaches will be examined without relying solely on levels.

This document discusses control statements in programming, including iteration statements like for, while, and do-while loops. It provides examples of using each loop type and traces the execution of sample code using a for loop. Key aspects covered include the general syntax of each loop, initializing and updating loop counter variables, and checking loop continuation conditions to determine when to exit the loop. Common errors with loop structures are also described.
This document discusses improving the leadership pipeline in the post-16 education sector. It conducted interviews with 41 individuals across the sector and reviewed literature on leadership development. Key findings include that the negative press around the sector puts people off leadership roles, recruitment processes favor internal candidates, and there is a lack of support for aspiring leaders to gain experience. The document recommends reforming recruitment and selection processes and better targeting and supporting the next generation of leaders to strengthen the leadership pipeline.
This document discusses insights into leadership from other sectors and the challenges of leadership in a complex world. It argues that leadership needs to move beyond focusing on individual leaders and recognize the importance of collaboration across organizations. Leadership activities can be distributed throughout organizations, allowing for greater adaptability. Leadership may also need to extend beyond single organizations towards systems leadership. Effective leadership requires adapting to the specific context and objectives.
This document discusses data types in C# programming. It covers increment and decrement operators, assignment operators, basic data types like integers, floats and booleans. It also discusses constants, conditional logical operators like AND, OR and NOT. Examples are provided to demonstrate how to use these operators and data types in C# code. The objectives are to learn about these fundamental programming concepts in C#.
This document discusses arrays, including defining and allocating arrays, accessing array elements using indexes, initializing array elements, and examples of using arrays such as totaling array elements, displaying data in histograms, and using array elements as counters. The document contains an example that initializes and displays three integer arrays, demonstrates summing the elements of an array to calculate a total or average, and shows using array elements as counters to calculate occurrences in a data set.
The document discusses leadership development and why only 10% of leaders have the necessary capabilities. It argues that current leadership development (LD 1.0) focuses too much on informational learning and not enough on transformative learning. LD 2.0 includes some transformative interventions but LD 3.0 advocates for development programs that incorporate both informational and transformative full curricula. Only transformative learning that addresses how leaders see themselves and the world can help more leaders develop the skills needed for today's challenges.
This document discusses engaging students in research and inquiry within community and further education institutions that provide higher education (CBHE). It reviews literature on integrating research-based learning and scholarly activity into the curriculum. The document presents strategies for involving students in research, such as having them work on research teams, applied research projects, or student-led journals. It also discusses developing students' research skills progressively throughout their studies. Overall, the document argues that engaging students in research and inquiry can enhance their learning experience and help develop skills needed for their future professions.
This document discusses control statements in C# programming. It covers algorithms, pseudocode, and the main control structures: sequence, selection (if/else statements), and repetition (loops). Specific topics covered include if and if/else statements, the switch statement, nested conditional logic, common errors, and a list of C# keywords. Pseudocode is presented as a way to plan programs before coding. Examples are provided to illustrate each control structure.

Cardiff Q-Step Inaugural Event – Thursday 18th September 2014 Geoff.PaynePomCardiff
This document discusses the British Sociological Association's response to the National Strategy for Quantitative Skills proposed by the High Level Strategy Group. The BSA advocates for a more bottom-up approach that emphasizes flexibility, ease of access, and addressing barriers faced by university staff. While acknowledging initiatives aimed at schools and undergraduates, the BSA stresses the need to evaluate their impact and ensure quantitative skills taught are relevant to the needs of social science students and researchers. The BSA also expresses concerns about benchmarking and pressures that could limit academic freedom and advocates for quantitative methods to be grounded in sociological issues rather than treating mathematics as common to all subjects.
The document discusses key aspects of designing an effective training and development program. It emphasizes the importance of defining clear objectives that specify what is to be accomplished by the training. Other important considerations include deciding whether to use an internal or external trainer, selecting appropriate training methods based on the goals and audience, and developing lesson plans and materials. Effective trainers require both subject matter expertise as well as interpersonal skills.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

3. Key themes
• What are practitioners’ CPD needs?
• How do learners develop Maths skills?
• What specialist Maths knowledge and or skills do vocational
practitioners need to support the contextualisation of GCSE Maths?
• What skills/knowledge will Functional Skills practitioners need in
order to teach GCSE Maths?
4. The challenges
• more readily available specialist ITT provision
• continuing CPD for existing functional skills practitioners to equip
them to teach GCSE
• more readily available subject specialist CPD programmes that
address the need to help teachers ensure they challenge every
learner
• promoting, modelling and enabling evidence-based good practice
in CPD
• the development of valid and useful real-time evaluations of staff
performance and current skill levels
5. Recommendations
• The Maths enhancement programme should be continued but
refined to address more in-depth ways of addressing learner diversity
• An English enhancement programme should also be developed
• Further probing of data should be undertaken regarding:
• the balance of access to CPD for vocational and non-vocational
staff
• differences of perception between strategic/middle leaders and
classroom practitioners
• Any substantive resulting differences should be explored via
leadership programmes and, possibly through a national debate

7. • The 6-day Maths Enhancement Programme (MEP) is:
• helpful for those teachers secure in their subject knowledge, but
• not enough for those with a weaker subject knowledge (a significant number)
• Recommendations:
• A self-assessment TNA tool covering the GCSE maths syllabus
• A series of ‘pre-MEP’ workshops, modularised to specific strands of subject
knowledge (e.g. Statistics / Algebra / Geometry / Trigonometry)
• Support for local peer-to-peer networks
• Building an online community of practice
• Development of a shorter / sharper model of support for GCSE maths teachers
working within a more vocationally-focused / WBL environment
8. • Colleges and other providers have been invited to bid for money used
to recruit and employ an additional maths teacher this year
• We have bids for around 150 additional teachers (more than we have
money to fund)
• This project is very much HR focused – getting Providers to use
imaginative ways of recruiting the additional teacher, using them, and
keeping them
