Assessment
Assessment
Much like adults, children need to know how they are doing. At Bassett, we make it abundantly clear that any child who simply makes an effort is doing well.
We encourage children to self-assess their learning using success criteria, linked to the learning objectives for the lesson. This enables them to take ownership of their learning process and realise their opinion counts. We also encourage them to seek feedback from classmates before the teacher makes their assessment.
True to our growth mindset approach, effort is recognised and rewarded then followed up with constructive and specific ‘next steps’ guidance. .
Immediate, oral feedback is also given wherever possible. We believe there’s nothing like spontaneous encouragement and guidance coming straight from the horse’s mouth!
