Primary Assessment Consultation deadline looming

[mundia]

If you haven't seen this yet, please take time to read and respond. It may look (because it says primary assessment) that it doesn't have anything to do with early years. It does! Opinions sought on the EYFSP but also on introducing a baseline in reception. You can get a flavour of the thinking by how many questions start with 'if we introduce baseline to reception.....'.

 

Early education have written a very good response to help you muse over the issues.

The consultation itself is here

As ever, if you have a view, please have a voice.

 

It closes on 22nd June, so next week.

Mundia, thanks so much for the reminder. It's on my TDL but this time of year is so busy. Also, thanks for the Early education info too.

Don't forget ... the consultation closes TOMORROW

 

TES ran a news piece about the consultation today: Teachers disagree with government over best year for baseline assessment

Thank you for this - I hadn't forgotten the consultation but I am struggling to remember the date at the moment! I am just half way through completing it now!

[Helen]

Yes, completed it myself just now! It's so important we all voice our opinions. :1b

[mundia]

Ahem, yes I did mine yesterday, think I went off on one though about assessment generally. It was certainly quite lengthy when it was submitted.

[Helen]

Me too! I tried very hard not to sound like a mad woman. :wacko:

[Froglet]

Me too - I kept getting carried away and then discovering that the next question addressed the point I'd just made!
