ASSESSMENT
The topic ‘Reconciliation’ has 2 assessment tasks on the blue assessment CD. Before teaching the
topic you should choose one assessment task to complete with the children at an appropriate
time.
5.4 ‘Reconciliation’ covers AT 1 (i) L2 & AT 1 (iii) L3 & L5
5.4 ‘Reconciliation’ covers AT 1 (ii) L2-4
What follows is an optional assessment for learning grid that can be used to aid driver word led
planning and assessment. It provides a map of assessment opportunities that goes beyond the
assessment tasks on the Assessment CD. Pupils are not required to gain every statement in a
section. Teachers can use the grid to tailor what assessment for learning takes place. It will aid
those teachers with mixed aged classes.
