Many schools face challenges in demonstrating progress for pupils with SEND, and I know assessment can often feel a bit mundane. However, it’s a crucial aspect of our educational practice, especially as it will remain a key element of Ofsted requirements for the foreseeable.

In our latest episode, I’m joined by Jordan, an experienced special needs teacher who works in a specialist provision attached to a mainstream school. With 15 years of experience using our assessment software, Connecting Steps by B Squared, Jordan shares her insights on what effective assessment looks like in the classroom and its impact on staff, pupils, and parents alike.

Jordan highlights the importance of showing the small steps of progress for pupils and the need to adapt assessments to fit individual learners, understanding each child's unique context and experiences.

Listen to hear practical tips on how to effectively assess in your classroom:

“Assessment is literally embedded and interwoven into every single decision I make in my classroom.”
