Teaching and learning for CPD - Measuring student progress
Trainee teachers, and teachers at the end of their induction period, are required to meet the professional Standards Q13 and C13 :
“Know how to use local and national statistical information to evaluate the effectiveness of their teaching, to monitor the progress of those they teach and to raise levels of attainment” (TDA 2007).
The article which can be downloaded in pdf format from the right hand column gives guidance on how effective measurement of student progress can be achieved through target setting and reflective practice.
Also available is a list of examples of ways of measuring student performance, an example of a recording system in Excel, which is also provided in pdf for printing as a hard copy, and suggestions of further reading and research.
