1. APP and Maths, One Model, of whole school implementation Tower Hamlets Case Study

2. The school context One form entry school Inexperienced staff (3 NQTs) ISP school – maths priority in the school development plan

3. Reference Materials APP grids http://nationalstrategies.standards.dcsf.gov.uk/node/20683 Standards files http://nationalstrategies.standards.dcsf.gov.uk/node/19753 (scroll down for David)

4. Timeline of implementation : Autumn Spring Summer Developing an ‘expert group’ 1 st meeting – explored materials, website, used training materials to trial process, identified target children. 2 nd meeting – examined evidence, used APP grids and identified individual’s next steps as a group. 3 rd meeting - moderated judgements, reviewed process and impact, agreed next steps. Continuing to develop ‘expert group’ New target children selected. Meeting - to moderate assessments ‘Planning prompts’ distributed to all staff and supported to use when planning. APP introduced to all staff. (5 staff meetings) Staff in 2 groups led by members of the original team. Staff supported to work through the same process.

5. Spring APP grids introduced to staff as planning prompts Planning workshops with members of SMT ‘Expert’ group chose new children and moderated judgements with focus on U&A Staff meetings addressed subject knowledge issues around U&A

6. Summer 1 st Staff Meeting Introduce APP Introduce grids (link to planning prompts) Experience training file ‘David’ Choose key children from Attainment Profiles

7. Summer 2nd Staff Meeting Teams established with ‘experts’ linked to each team Staff brought key children and their maths books ‘Had a go’ with Number and Calculation

8. Summer 3 rd Staff Meeting In teams ‘having a go’ with using and applying grids 4 th Staff Meeting Revisiting issues (highlighter happy) Which grid to use? Has the child achieved the criteria? Making a judgement

9. Summer 5 th Staff Meeting Moderate judgements in teams focussing on number and calculation Using the standards files

10. Issues Support teachers – focus group Attendance at staff meetings Clarity regarding highlighting Independent evidence – clarifying school marking policy to new staff Identifying next steps for children

11. Where next? Developing the role of support staff Identify next steps to inform unit planning Use APP grids to support assessment of prior learning Revisit the process in Autumn Term Moderating judgements Revisit school marking code Consider experienced teachers developing APP in Reading or Writing
