Assessment

As educators, we want out pupils to reach their maximum potential and we want to provide them with opportunities to develop skills that are important for life-long learning. In special educational needs, we need to be really aware of small but significant steps to learning. There is often pressure to write specific learning outcomes for each child during every session throughout the day. Not only is this time consuming (we’ve all done it) but it can also mean that you miss really valuable teaching and learning opportunities.
