AFTER: What does it all mean? Analysing your learners’ literacy and numeracy progress

Next, you need to analyse your learners’ results in relation to key programme demands by:

  • Summarising progress results including identifying strengths and needs for each learner.
  • Describing implications from the results that can inform the design of future literacy and numeracy teaching and learning strategies

We have prompts for all of this to guide you in the template for Assessment 7. But if f you want to take notes now, you can download just the questions below in a format that you can write on.

Here’s what you’ll need to think about and answer for each learner after carrying out and collecting the final assessment results:

What were the contextualised literacy assessment results?

  • What was their final score on the contextualised literacy assessment?
  • Can you say roughly what step in the Learning Progressions this relates?
  • How does this compare to what they when they did this the first time?

What were the contextualised numeracy assessment results?

  • What was their final score on the contextualised literacy assessment?
  • Can you say roughly what step in the Learning Progressions this relates?
  • How does this compare to what they when they did this the first time?

What improvements and strengths did you see this time?

  • What were their improvements?
  • What are their strengths now?
  • Were there any gains that you didn’t expect?

What are some next steps for this learner?

  • What are some further areas this learner needs to work on to succeed in this programme?
  • What does this learner still need help with?

What’s the relationship to the demands you identified earlier?

  • Any thoughts on what you identified earlier when you mapped the demands of your programme and resources?

What’s the relationship to the needs you identified earlier?

  • Any thoughts on what you identified earlier in the literacy and numeracy diagnostic assessments?

What about feedback on their literacy and numeracy progress?

  • How did you provide feedback on these last assessments?
