Tracking significant achievement in primary science - Esme Glauert

Within the National Curriculum, teacher assessment is held up as good professional practice - but the only official guidance is that teachers should look to and record their pupils' "significant achievement". Yet what is significant achievement? And is it the same for each child? This text, one in a series of practical handbooks, attempts to explain the idea of significant achievement, and explores the implications for the planning, assessment and record-keeping cycle throughout the primary school. It aims to put "significant achievement", and how to foster it, firmly in a subject context, and tells teachers how to start tracking "significant achievement" in their own classrooms.
