Assessment for Learning Pack - Medieval Realms 1066-1485 CD-ROM - Disaster and Conflict: Black Death and Peasants' Revolt

The Assessment for Learning Pack involves using a combination of activity based lessons and assessments to raise pupils' achievement.

This pack provides teachers with a wide range of resources needed to teach a sequence of lessons fulfilling some of the essential aspects of the assessment for learning curriculum.

It is based around 2 popular and related topics from the Middle Ages and is suitable for pupil's aged 10-14.

There are detailed schemes of work and lesson-by-lesson outlines carefully constructed around activity based pupil tasks with clear learning outcomes that state what pupils will do and learn, enabling the teacher to share learning goals with pupils.

The pack includes activities for a wide range of abilities, a variety of assessment tasks, homework tasks, keywords, differentiated activities, and opportunities for peer assessment, pupil self-evaluation and target setting. There are also suggestions for lesson starters and plenaries.

Peer assessment opportunities in the pack are managed carefully. Pupil-centred mark schemes and sample answers are included, helping pupils to know and recognise the standards to aim for and what they need to do to improve.

The end of unit evaluation process gives both the teacher and pupils a chance to review and reflect on pupils' performance and progress and discover areas they need to work on. Pupils then set improvement targets.

The Assessment for Learning Pack will lighten the workload for those teachers who are tired of planning and writing tasks to meet ever changing teaching and assessment criteria.

Once purchased, the CD can be freely copied and networked throughout the school.
