Triple Science: Preparing for Linear Assessment

This course identifies a range of potential barriers for teachers and students in responding to the move to the Linear Assessment model. It goes beyond looking at short term bolt-on interventions to look at issues such as progression, tracking progress and how best to structure learning so students gain a deep, long term understanding of the science. You will be able to: - Identify areas for further development so as to best prepare students for linear assessment - Evaluate current practice and identify any enhancements in provision required - Plan specific actions to improve students’ preparation for linear assessment Thanks to funding from the Department for Education, schools which are part of the Triple Science Support Programme (TSSP) will be eligible for funding covering the entire Continuing Professional Development fee.

To find out whether your school is part of the TSSP programme please contact enquiries@ce.slcs.ac.uk
