Routes for Learning

This presentation provides a brief description of the Routes for Learning assessment model. It consists of a new model developed in Wales to assess pupils with complex needs. Routes for Learning provides a more holistic view of learners and takes into account the idiosyncratic learning of these young people, who may, due to physical, intellectual and sensory difficulties, take a different range of learning pathways. This model of assessment focuses on key areas of learning such as communication, social interaction and cognitive skills. It gives indications on how to record evidence of learning for those students with more profound learning difficulties and who show very subtle learning progress. The presentation also gives an outline of the Routes for learning pack and how it can be used.
