Core Purpose

• A diagnostic tool that is accessible for SEN students

• To analyse the results of a range of test students with different learning needs to ensure the responses were accurate

• The ability to analyse students understanding of self directed/independent learning prior to transition

• To determine the main areas for further development

Where did we start………

• Obtained and adapted a range of ELLI dimension questions

• Established the age and comprehension appropriateness

Where did we start…….

• Built on existing established diagnostic tools for lower ability students • Produced and tested a prototype to explore how student’s self

assessment matched with the teacher’s assessment • Analysis of results

The results

Next Steps……..

Appropriate survey to be carried as part of year 6 induction in May 2014

Determine which skills/dimensions are the main priority for development with the transition staff

Earlier intervention and focus for the skills with all staff – ‘hit the boards running!’

Review of scores in the Autumn term and formal observations of the student

The use of the tool with mainstream providers to ensure all have an understanding of expectations between mainstream and special school settings prior to transition time
