What does the Teaching and Learning Guidance look like?

We’ve added evidenced-based teaching and learning ideas and activities to our high-quality baseline assessment data reporting. This will help you to work smarter and more efficiently to support the children in your classroom. 

The teaching and learning guidance includes links to worksheets, activity instructions, online activities and research articles. We’ve highlighted strategies that are particularly effective for English as an Additional Language (EAL) learners and included extra resources to support your own professional development. These are designed to be incorporated into your existing lesson plans and schemes of learning.

How is it organised?

Your students’ baseline assessment scores have been used to group the students into four capability bands in each assessment module:

• Low <85 - Students performing below average expectations
• Low average 85-99 - Students performing at the lower end of average
• High average 100-115 - Students performing at the upper end of average
• High >115 - Students performing above average

Teaching and Learning guidance is available for each of these ability groups for students aged 5-7, 7-9 and 9-11.
