Understanding and Using Targets
This week's staff meeting was about understanding our children's targets and to consider the progress our children are making.
You have been emailed a copy of the predictor for your class.
In Classroom Monitor - you need to create a tracking sheet for your class. My suggestion is that you complete one that runs from Nov 2010 to Nov 2011 (so you can see a year's progress). Click here if you want to see a video explaining how to do it. Make sure you tick the boxes that say:
*include progress
*include targets
*show data as levels.
The targets set are for the end of the keystage. The colours of the boxes suggest whether the children are on course for meeting their targets or not.
Red=below
Yellow=on course
Green=exceeding.
If you are not in year 2 or 6 then the predictor emailed to you will give you an idea about what the targets are for the end of the year.
Things to Consider
Once you have your data - you need to be asking questions and then considering how you intend to help the children meet their targets. You may have a real concern about the targets that have been set in some cases and that is fine - however, they have all been set with FFT D in mind (Go here for a reminder about data.). If a child has fallen behind - they need to catch up. How are we doing this?
There will be an opportunity for you to discuss the targets with me over the next few weeks.
