Building a Shared Understanding

“To support curriculum planning and to ensure that all learners have access to an active, enterprising learning environment, a coherent approach to planning learning, teaching and assessment and to sharing information about progress and achievements is needed… Staff will need to have a clear understanding of how their own pupils are progressing in relation to others in their establishment, authority and different parts of the country, against the outcomes and experiences at different levels. They will need to share broader local and national expectations Regular, planned opportunities for dialogue will be required within and across establishments to help staff share and consistently apply standards” BtC3 – a Framework for Learning and Teaching
