KS1 Teacher Assessment Exemplification
Science Resource Description
The KS1 Teacher Assessment Exemplification is a collection of materials that provides primary school teachers with clear guidance on meeting the expected standards for assessing pupils at the end of Key Stage 1. These resources serve as benchmarks to illustrate what a child working at the expected level of development in subjects like English reading, writing, and mathematics might demonstrate over the course of the academic year. The exemplification helps ensure consistency in teacher assessments and offers detailed descriptions and examples of how pupils' work can reflect national standards.
Utilised as a supportive tool, the exemplification aids teachers in making informed and accurate judgements about their pupils' abilities. It includes annotated samples of students' work, which highlight how specific criteria are met across a range of abilities. This enables teachers to compare the work of their own pupils with the national standard examples provided. The exemplification is not only a practical aid for teachers but also acts as a reference to ensure that teacher assessments are fair, reliable, and aligned with the national curriculum's expectations for the end of Key Stage 1.
