What were your reasons for doing this type of development work?
Monitoring of the first year of the Intensifying Support Programme (ISP) showed that, while schools could really appreciate the benefit of the layered curricular targets in English and mathematics, children were still not necessarily achieving them. When we explored this further, we discovered that many teachers were not really identifying children's prior learning or starting points and were just aiming their teaching at the target statement for the entire half-term, rather than building an appropriate 'learning journey' towards the target. We also discovered that children often did not understand what the targets meant in terms of their own learning.• This case study has been downloaded 4119 times (12 Jan 10)
