Carshalton College has a holistic approach to assessment which includes all delivery staff and subject areas over a period of time. This approach to identifying priority essential skill targets for our learners impacts positively on our learners’ behaviours, with key areas for development embedded into every session. It additionally brings out the best in staff as they believe in what they are working on, whilst watching their learners reap the benefits.
The following output contains four (see below) documents, which arguably make up the most crucial element of a learner’s assessment at Carshalton College. To show how the process works in practice, the examples provided are the versions completed for a young man named Patrick. Whilst we also assess against different vocational areas, Independent Living skills, literacy and numeracy, we focus on the individual skills a learner needs to develop and truly achieve their potential.
