We continually monitor and track the progress of individual students.
Throughout the year teachers:
- systematically collect evidence from a range of assessments, monitor and analyse this information over time
- schedule and document ongoing assessment to track individual students against Victorian Curriculum English Achievement Standards or EAL standards and progression profiles
- administer and analyse the following assessment tools (aligned to the PHPS assessment schedule):
– English Online Interview
– Single Word Spelling Test (SWST)
– PAT Reading
- administer and analyse Diagnostic Assessment Tools in English as required
- administer and analyse running records (Fountas & Pinnell) for all students at regular intervals. Running records are used to record a student’s reading behaviour and comprehension while a student is reading
- regularly observe students reading, writing, speaking and listening within the class context, and document progress
- regularly collect and analyse student writing samples
- provide students with regular opportunities for self-assessment of literacy progress using agreed criteria
At the end of each semester teachers:
- Integrate evidence collected throughout the semester to make on balance judgements against Victorian Curriculum English Achievement Standards for the Report
