Courses and Workshops

This presentation with Margaret will introduce you to the Firm Foundations resource and how this can be used in a new Entrant class to easily transition children from ECE into the school environment.

In this session we will take a deeper look at what assessment is and explore what formative and summative assessment looks like and how this is important when making OTJs. You will see how Numicon milestone assessments fit with the NZC and gain practical tips as to how this can be managed in your classroom or in fact during ‘lock down’. We will also discuss differentiating your teaching using Numicon, and theories of mixed ability and flexible grouping.
