Staff Meeting # 1 (Week 2)

Thank you all for your input into today's meeting :) The professional discussion was fantastic and it is good to talk about the complexities of something that at first glance can seem quite simple! Just remember the garden analogy....

//If we think of children as plants … //

 //Summative assessment //// of the plants is the process of simply measuring them. It might be interesting to compare and analyse measurements but, in themselves, these do not affect the growth of the plants. //

 //Formative assessment ////, on the other hand, is the equivalent of feeding and watering the plants appropriate to their needs - directly affecting their growth. //
