Assessment Tasks for Autumn 2011

Moderation Portfolio Assessment Tasks Come and See Autumn 2016 Domestic Church - Community AT1i Why we have common assessment tasks The following assessment tasks have been compiled for the Autumn term for inclusion in school portfolios. These will enable • Schools to produce a moderation portfolio of assessed work using common tasks for Years One to Six. (An activity is included for Early Years to be used for Year 1 children in a YR/Y1 class, using the Early Years book. Early Years teachers may present examples of work for the school portfolio, but this will not be levelled or moderated.) • Consistency of levelling locally, at diocesan level, and nationally, across topics and strands • The collation of exemplars showing secure levels within each strand How the task is used It is important to remember that this task only serves as part of the evidence used to support the ‘best fit’ level of attainment achieved by the pupil in this term. The task should be given a straight level and not sub-levelled. Teachers should award a sub-level to each child at the end of each term taking into account all their work across that term. The timetable for assessment work for school portfolios is as follows. All strands will be covered on a three years cycle .

Summer Inter-relating Pentecost Universal Church ̴ Reconciliation ̴ Serving ̴ World Using the assessment task cover sheet The tasks this term are based on activities within the Reveal section of Come and See for the Domestic Church topic and have been adapted to meet the focus of AT1i. Driver words are in bold to assist you with the planning and assessment of the task. In the grid the teacher should highlight the level achieved and add reasons for awarding the level in the commentary box. A range of levels is included for each task to assist with the teaching of mixed age classes and to aid teacher marking. The sheet serves as a cover sheet to the given task. It should be attached to and annotated for each piece of work in the portfolio. This sheet will be used at diocesan moderation meetings so please add your school name, badge or crest and the town to the top of each sheet. Please note that evidence of a pupil’s response can be scribed by an adult if the pupil is unable to record his/her response independently in written form. Please record the pupil’s own words. Additional note – some of the tasks require further research, particularly within Levels 3 and 4. With this in mind, a set of Background Notes have been produced to guide teachers and supplement their knowledge. Myself (Early Years) – Autumn 2016 Working within or towards Level 1 AT1i
