Standards-Based Assessment for Mastery Learning in Physical Education
This course was originally developed in response to government legislation in the form of statutory instrument 2232 which removed level descriptors from the education system. It is about how we can develop assessment strategy in PE that promotes a growth mindset amongst learners and achieve higher standards in PE aligned to a school and department’s intent (values, vision, aims and planning); implementation (the way teachers teach and learners learn and the effective use of assessment for learning) and how we can use assessment for diagnostic and summative purposes to maximise impact.
What does this course cover?
The course will reference the National Curriculum (DfE 2013) PE programme of study aims, the standards expected at the end of each key stage and ideas for practice. Ideas for assessment information that is fit for purpose will be developed, focusing on a day to day, medium and long-term basis in order to deepen learning.
This will lead to answers about how we demonstrate progress, the evidence we might use, information we might use internally (and that Ofsted do not wish to see) and information we might use to recognise achievement and report progress. Issues surrounding continued use of descriptive data linked to meaningless levelling practice and flight paths will be addressed
Who is it suitable for?
This qualification is suitable for any physical education teacher, teaching assistant, coach, consultant, trainer or Ofsted inspector who is working with primary or secondary schools to raise the standard of physical education and school sport for children and young people.
How can I be confident of quality?
Andrew Frapwell has been involved in developing assessment practices nationally and internationally – most recently in Kosovo and England. He is the Association for Physical Education’s national lead for assessment and a registered subject expert with Ofqual. He is the author of “A Practical Guide to Assessing without Levels” (Coachwise 2015). You will engage in interactive activities to encourage deep learning.
