Part of a series of assessment
sheets for KS1/2 produced by David Warbrick. David explains: A single 2 sided A4 sheet
for each of the QCA units of work- there are 3 expected levels of outcome- Most children
will..... Some children will do better and...... Some children will not do as well
and....... The reverse of the sheet contains the "small steps" the learning
objectives for the scheme as a means of recording the achievements of those children who
didn't achieve the expected outcomes.
You can find further details and the whole set of sheets at David's website.
