Linlithgow Academy Tracking progress in the BGE ….. a developing model
Currently at LA • Strong tracking tool based on E/Os • Supports learner conversations • Encourages professional dialogue • Blank template for departments • Lacks consistency • variety of interpretations and groupings, • some skills based, some task based • For some pupils a record of failure • no level 2 included
Developing model • Increase consistency by • Use of curriculum organisers • Use of Benchmarks • Introduction of BGE checkpoints / updates • Remove clutter using curricular areas • Develop a method to measure and record progress over time taking account of breadth and depth of benchmarks within courses • Increase confidence for staff in achievement of a level • Moving onto next level
Looking for a Trend • Existing traffic lighting system: 1, 2, 3 • New Filemaker versions include Graphing • How could we adapt to plot a trend line • Progress over time • Traffic light each organiser & capture coverage • Equal status not realistic • Breadth and depth varied for each organiser • Need for weighting
The numbers behind the lights! Technologies # Benchmarks • 11 • 2 • 3 • 6 • 4 • 1 • 3 • 26 • 6 • 6 • 10 • 4 • 21 • 5 • 8 • 8 Total = 62 • Digital Literacy • Applications & System skills • Information processing • Cyber resilience • Business • Developments • Impact & Contribution • Design & Technology • Design & construction • Materials • Graphics • Engineering • Computing Science • Computational thinking • Technology • Software development • 33 • 1x2= 2 • 0x3= 0 • 0x6= 0 • 12 • 0x1= 0 • 2x3= 6 • 78 • 3x6= 18 • 0x6= 0 • 0x10=0 • 0x4= 0 • 63 • 1x5= 5 • 2x8= 16 • 0x8= 0 2/33 = 6% 6/12 = 50% 18/78 = 23% 21/63 = 33% Technologies Overall = 47/186 = 25%

The Trend • Capture Overall % • 3 x per year • S1, S2 and S3 • Raw data: • 16, 23, 46, • 48, 68, 77, • 84, 84, 95 • Plot line graph • Numbers create too many questions!

Considerations during planning • Which assessments are we basing our decisions on? • How the weighting is decided (progress bars) • Allowing professional judgement to supersede summative assessments • Will we have effective differentiated materials for those who need it? • How will we interpret the graphs? • What literacy and numeracy will be tracked this year? • When have pupils achieved a level?
Classroom • Using CAT and CEM scores and access barriers to learning when pupils join the class • Consider literacy and numeracy levels of pupils in class in planning • Complete benchmark profile throughout the year (including Lit & Num), workload is manageable. • Use profile to identify next steps for pupils, this should inform report writing
Middle leader • Moderation tool, faculties can look at assessments used for judgements at ‘BGE update’ on calendar • Look at CAT/ CEM vs pupils progress. Potential to identify best practise and share • Are all pupils achieving? Creates a record that can be used when analysing SQA results i.e. Do we need to change anything in the BGE to improve attainment • Pupil support use during course choice
Whole school • Follow targeted groups • Care Experienced • PEF • ESOL • Audit curriculum against organisers • Clear picture of level of challenge in curricular areas • Enhances collegiality
Benefits of developing model • Can now measure progress across all levels • Supports identification of the need for differentiation ( support and challenge ) • Visual to support learner conversations • Allows capture of application of literacy / numeracy across learning • Adds clarity to professional dialogue / moderation across school • Supports work / dialogue already taking place
Next steps / possibilities • Development of a management report • Measuring the gap, is it reducing? • Potential to raise progress concerns in BGE • Use of data to improve accessibility of reports to parents – a visual ? • Use of data to support course choice • primary data / collaboration
