  • How Do Pupils Progress During Key Stages 2 and 3?
    Research Report DFE-RR096 How do pupils progress during Key Stages 2 and 3? Education Standards Analysis and Research Division Department for Education Executive Summary What’s in this Report? How do Pupils Progress During Key Stages 2 and 3? presents statistical analysis of pupils’ progress in reading, writing and maths during years 3-9, based on a sample of termly teacher assessments for over 70,000 pupils in 10 Local Authorities. The main issues addressed are when most progress is made, who makes most progress, how termly progress adds up to expected threshold levels of achievement, and what progress through National Curriculum Key Stages 2 and 3 looks like empirically – the patterns and pathways actually followed by pupils. What are the Key Findings from the Analysis? Learning Pathways (details in Chapter 5) • For many pupils, progress during Key Stages 2 and 3 is not linear and continuous; episodes of regression to an earlier level of attainment, or remaining at the same level for a period, are part of the norm. • Patterns of progress are highly individual; there is low concentration of pupils into one pathway or another, especially in reading and writing. • The more progress a pupil made in the previous term, the less likely they are to make progress the following term, and vice versa. Timing of Progress (details in Chapter 1) • More progress is made per year in Key Stage 2 than Key Stage 3 in all three subjects, but especially in reading and writing. • Pupils make most progress during the summer term and least progress during the autumn term.

  • Monitoring Progress 1 Monitoring Progress of Students Who Are Deaf
    Monitoring Progress 1 Monitoring Progress of Students Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing Susan Rose Department of Educational Psychology University of Minnesota Correspondence: Susan Rose College of Education and Human Development University of Minnesota 178 Pillsbury Drive, SE Minneapolis, MN 55455 Monitoring Progress 2 Abstract Monitoring Progress of Students Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing Federal and state legislation has placed a renewed emphasis on accountability and academic outcomes among students who are deaf or hard of hearing. While much attention is given to norm-referenced standardized testing accommodations, there is a need for functional formative assessments for the purpose of monitoring students’ academic progress. This paper addresses some of the evaluative perspective of students’ academic performance within the field of deaf education and the critical need for progress monitoring. A brief review is included of studies conducted using Curriculum- Based Measurement (CBM) with students who are deaf and hard of hearing. Monitoring Progress 3 Monitoring Progress of Students Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing Susan Rose University of Minnesota Several landmark educational reforms have occurred over the past 25 years with significant impact on how, where, what, and who provides educational programming for children and youth who are deaf or hard of hearing. With the onset of the P.L.94-142: Education for All Handicapped Children’s Act of 1975, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) of 1997, education of children with hearing loss has been externally revolutionized by agencies and agents seeking more options and opportunities for children with special needs. The reauthorization of IDEA in 2004 and the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 have placed renewed emphasis on academic standards, assessment, and accountability.
