Making Key Stage 3 Count: How to improve pupil progress in Years 7, 8 and 9 - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

**FIRST EDITION NOW OUT OF PRINT - A NEW SECOND EDITION IS NOW AVAILABLE - UPDATED AND EXPANDED FOR 2018** ABOUT THIS BOOK According to Ofsted, the quality of teaching and pupils' progress in Years 7, 8 and 9 are not good enough. These weaknesses, they say, reflect a general lack of priority given to Key Stage 3 by school leaders. This book offers help and advice on how to lead Years 7, 8 and 9 in order to ensure that those three years of a child's education that constitute Key Stage 3 do not prove to be time wasted during which the attainment gap is allowed to widen but are – instead - fruitful, enjoyable and rewarding. This book will help you to: ensure your curriculum offer at Key Stage 3 is broad and balanced and that teaching is of a high quality and thus prepares pupils for more challenging subsequent study at GCSE; improve the transition from Key Stage 2 to 3 so that it focuses as much on pupils' academic needs as it does on their pastoral needs; ensure assessment and tracking at Key Stage 3 is robust and focuses on the needs of disadvantaged pupils, including the most able, in order to close the achievement gap as quickly as possible; ensure homework helps pupils to make good progress, and develop effective literacy and numeracy strategies.
