Over the last two weeks we have been sharing good practice with the Art Department at Guilsborough School in Northamptonshire. With the changes to Assessment without levels looming fast we felt that this was a good opportunity to share good practice.
Looking at something as complicated as AWOL can be intimidating, for we are loathe to throw away the best practice that we exhibit in our art teaching, but we are keen to have the chance to create something that is more secure than the old levels. Both departments are also critically aware of the pressures on their respective schools while insuring that we keep a system that is accessible to students, parents, SLT and colleagues. We believe that both Departments found it very useful to double check our progress and develop our understanding of AWOL. Thank you to Jolan and Rob for organising the outreach and we hope this is a beginning of a beautiful friendship.. |
