Periodic (from time to time)
From time to time teachers also take stock of their learners' progress and achievements in order to be able to plan ahead and to record and report on progress. This is vital in ensuring that learners' progress is on track and that action is being taken to address any problems at the earliest possible point.
This taking stock relates to broad standards and expectations, for example deciding whether a level for a curriculum area, or part of an area such as reading, has been achieved or what additional learning and support is needed.
It involves teachers in evaluating a range of evidence produced over a period of time to provide a summary of progress and achievement, including for qualifications and awards. It can be carried out in a number of ways, including by weighing up all relevant evidence, taking account of the breadth, challenge and application of learning.
