Thursday 7th November

Today I spent completing end of year assessments with the students to get the information ready for their end of year reports. I found this whole process both satisfying and frustrating. It was really satisfying to see the progress that some students made, however there were afew students that failed to make as much progress as I would have expected. To me this highlights the fact that 'test conditions' are not suited for everybody. It is for this reason that I place a much higher value on OTJ's rather than a set assessment as I believe it gives you a much broader understanding and appreciation for the students knowledge.
