Baseline Assessment and Progression Policy in History

All history departments will need to show that students are making progress and this will must be based on statistical evidence. This new resource contains a baseline assessment that can be used to ascertain at what level a student is operating, based on the most popular units with junior and primary schools. The test consists of 50 multiple-choice questions and a piece of extended writing, which should allow each student to be assessed in about five minutes or less than two hours per class. Once the baseline assessment data has been collected, the policy document appended to the test shows how to use the data to plot student progress, in a simple and easily understood way, requiring no statistical expertise.

This resource is extremely adaptable and can be easily changed to fit your department's individual practices and requirements with ease. To facilitate this, the pack comes with a copy of the whole assessment on CD in MS Word format.
