Assessment in PSHEE has long been neglected and indeed many schools do not assess the subject at all. And yet assessment is important because it establishes clear expectations for standards and success, identifies areas of achievement and development and enables teachers to reflect upon their own teaching. In addition, the assessment of PSHEE provides evidence to strengthen its position in the curriculum and its contribution to the five outcomes of Every Child Matters.
QCA have published end of key stage statements for PSHEE in order to help schools work towards standardised assessment. This course will provide a clear framework for delegates to apply to their own situations in order to implement a rigorous scheme of assessment and to prepare for OfSTED.
