How can teachers measure the development of skills?

Measuring skill development is very different from measuring subject knowledge. The best way to support learners in developing their skills is through Assessment for Learning. We recommend regular communication with learners to help them to see where they are doing well and what they can do to improve. Learning objectives provide a structure for teaching and learning and a reference against which learners’ attainment and skills development can be checked. We provide suggested success criteria in the Challenges. You should refer to the relevant Learning Objectives and Success Criteria in every lesson.
