Art at Days Lane
Art Assessment Frameworks and Topic Quiz (samples)
- Assessment Frameworks have been designed for every art topic to outline the key knowledge, skills and vocabulary that children will be assessed against throughout the unit.
- Topic Quizzes are used to assess children's knowledge retention at the end of a each unit of work. An analysis of children's outcomes then takes place to identify gaps in learning and these are addressed at the start of future lessons through our 'Review and Recall' slides.
Please see examples of a history Assessment Framework and a Topic Quiz below:
Review and Recall
