The guide and the associated exemplars offer an approach to narrative assessment adapted from the work of Margaret Carr (1998a and 1998b) on learning stories. The guide to narrative assessment describes how the exemplars are structured and identifies what teachers should look for in them. It also outlines how to: use learning stories in classroom settings; begin to write learning stories; analyse learning stories to illustrate learning over time.

For more information visit: http://www.ltscotland.org.uk/curriculumforexcellence/assessmentandachievement/index.asp The main differences from the existing assessment arrangements are that: - Assessment practices will follow and support the new curriculum. This will promote higher quality learning and teaching and give more autonomy and professional responsibility to teachers. - Standards and expectations will be defined in a way that reflects the principles of Curriculum for Excellence. This will support greater breadth and depth of learning and a greater focus on skills development including higher order skills. - A national system of quality assurance and moderation for 3 – 18 will be developed to support teachers in achieving greater consistency and confidence in their professional judgements. - A National Assessment Resource will help teachers to achieve greater consistency and understanding in their professional judgements. There will also be a major focus on CPD to help teachers develop the skills required. Later this year, the Scottish Government will publish a Framework for Assessment as part of the Building the Curriculum series which will provide guidance and support to ensure that arrangements for assessment, at all levels of the educational community, support the values, purposes and principles of Curriculum for Excellence and build on the Assessment is for Learning programme. The Scottish Survey of Achievement will also be redesigned to provide more information about young people’s literacy and numeracy skills. No publisher The Scottish Government 2009-10-14T11:12:04Z File
