Focuses
• Where has your school been for the last few months?
• Where would you like to be?
• What is it like for a learner at 3?
• What is it like for a learner at 7?
![Page 4: Surviving APP South Essex District Headteacher Meeting 23rd March 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e205503460f94b0b3e9/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
APP in a nutshell
Good day to day teaching and learning
Rich evidence of learning
APP – periodic review against national standards
![Page 5: Surviving APP South Essex District Headteacher Meeting 23rd March 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e205503460f94b0b3e9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The big benefits of APP
• Using our professional judgement• An informed holistic judgement• Finally nationally standardised• Leads to more responsive teaching• ‘Neglected’ areas are addressed• It encourages a broad curriculum• It leads to a greater understanding of reading• It leads to greater independence of children• Increased use of questioning and discussion• Higher profile of ‘using and applying’ in maths
![Page 6: Surviving APP South Essex District Headteacher Meeting 23rd March 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e205503460f94b0b3e9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The big Challenges of APP
• Underestimating the change• Initially time consuming• Getting staff on board• A limited reading curriculum can lead to lack of variety in
evidence• Focus on APP statements could lead to narrowing of
literacy curriculum• Number of AFs in maths• Much independent work needed• How to record evidence• Making whole class assessment manageable
![Page 7: Surviving APP South Essex District Headteacher Meeting 23rd March 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e205503460f94b0b3e9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Possible big changes
• More…– Assessment points– Independent work (especially for the less able)– Extended writing– Cross-curricular learning– LSA involvement in assessment– Strategies for teaching reading comprehension– Using and applying– Quality questioning– Time for observation and discussion– Moderation

6 strategies to support your staff
![Page 10: Surviving APP South Essex District Headteacher Meeting 23rd March 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e205503460f94b0b3e9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Strategy 1 – Plan for APP
• For each unit decide on the AFs that you will focus on
• Identify evidence from across the curriculum• Look out for unexpected evidence• Build in opportunities to collect evidence
– Independent– Investigative– Creative– Offer choice
![Page 11: Surviving APP South Essex District Headteacher Meeting 23rd March 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e205503460f94b0b3e9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
And back to planning again
• Look for weak areas and adapt your planning
• Make use of guided learning for group issues
• Adapt whole class teaching for whole class issues
![Page 12: Surviving APP South Essex District Headteacher Meeting 23rd March 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e205503460f94b0b3e9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Strategy 2 – Help staff with ways to collect evidence
![Page 13: Surviving APP South Essex District Headteacher Meeting 23rd March 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e205503460f94b0b3e9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

How can data be collected?
• Marking
• Sticky labels
• Reading records
• Evidence sheets
• Reading and writing journals
• Mark books
• Guided reading / maths / writing records
![Page 15: Surviving APP South Essex District Headteacher Meeting 23rd March 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e205503460f94b0b3e9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Strategy 3 – Give practical ideas of what to do
![Page 16: Surviving APP South Essex District Headteacher Meeting 23rd March 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e205503460f94b0b3e9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Reading Strategies – An example
• Reciprocal reading• Highlighting• Ordering
– Top 3– Top 5– Diamond nine– Pyramid ten
• Visualisation• Guided reading
![Page 17: Surviving APP South Essex District Headteacher Meeting 23rd March 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e205503460f94b0b3e9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
AF6 L4 - identify and comment on writers' purposes and viewpoints, and the overall effect
of the text on the reader
• main purpose identified, e.g. ‘it’s all about why going to the dentist is important and how you should look after your teeth’
• simple comments show some awareness of writer’s viewpoint, e.g. ‘he only tells you good things about the farm and makes the shop sound boring’
• simple comment on overall effect on reader, e.g. ‘the way she describes him as “rat like” and “shifty” makes you think he’s disgusting’
![Page 18: Surviving APP South Essex District Headteacher Meeting 23rd March 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e205503460f94b0b3e9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

![Page 21: Surviving APP South Essex District Headteacher Meeting 23rd March 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e205503460f94b0b3e9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Strategy 4 – Link to creative cross curricular approaches
![Page 22: Surviving APP South Essex District Headteacher Meeting 23rd March 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e205503460f94b0b3e9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Giving opportunities for independent extended writing
• Regular open writing gives children a chance to apply key skills and practise previously taught text types
• Opportunities for children to write their own success criteria encourages independence
• Making use of learning pathways gives opportunities to write non-fiction, poetry and stories in other subjects
![Page 23: Surviving APP South Essex District Headteacher Meeting 23rd March 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e205503460f94b0b3e9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Embedding maths in other subjects
• Build on existing plans
• Add to curriculum maps
• Choose powerful connections
• Reconsider the sequence of units
• Use the content from foundation subjects to teach mathematics
• Consider the impact of maths in other subjects on pupil’s learning
![Page 24: Surviving APP South Essex District Headteacher Meeting 23rd March 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e205503460f94b0b3e9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Strategy 5 – Make use of your LSAs
• Train your LSAs– What the AFs mean– How to teach guided reading and maths– How to use higher order questions
• LSAs collect evidence in guided, shared and independent sessions
• Give them the appropriate support and guidance
![Page 28: Surviving APP South Essex District Headteacher Meeting 23rd March 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e205503460f94b0b3e9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Strategy 6 – Help teachers to be consistent
• Regular moderation is essential to align judgements
• Moderate after periodic judgements are made
• Moderation options– Focus on specific AFs– Focus on borderline queries– Focus on low, secure or high– Focus on a specific level
![Page 29: Surviving APP South Essex District Headteacher Meeting 23rd March 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e205503460f94b0b3e9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
