Art and Design: assessment for learning
Pupils' Record of Achievement/Self Assessment Sheets
These sheets (see links below) are closely linked to the National Curriculum, QCA Exemplar Scheme of Work and QCA Teacher Assessment Activities for Art and Design.
The purpose of the sheets is to support teachers (primarily in Key Stage 2) in communicating the objectives of activities to the children and to provide the children with the
opportunity to reflect upon their learning and, with some guidance, record their achievements. In this way they can make a valuable contribution to a school's approach to Assessment for Learning.
The main learning in Art and Design has been divided into three "strands" in the National Curriculum. These are:
Exploring and developing ideas
Investigating and Making Art, Craft and Design
Evaluating and Developing Work
For each of these "strands" I have produced "I can..." statements to indicate the main learning at each level (up to level 6)
by combining the information available from the National Curriculum document, the QCA Exemplar Scheme of Work for Art and the 2006 QCA booklet entitled Teacher Assessment Activities for Art and Design.
In converting the statements found in these documents to "I can..." statements, I have tried to avoid simplifying the Art and Design terminology but have, in some cases, altered other non-technical vocabulary without, I hope, changing the meaning!
I have also produced a list of questions arising from these levelled statements which teachers may find useful when
seeking to confirm that pupils are working at a particular level of attainment.
