As teachers, we want all our students to reach their potential.<\/p>\n

But balancing the range of learning needs in a classroom can be a tough task and this is often challenging when you need to consider high ability pupils as well.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a common assumption that schools only turn to assessment platforms when they\u2019re faced with problem issues. Things like unsatisfactory OFSTED reports or teacher absences, or when they\u2019re managing learning gaps and struggling with students who are underachieving.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s true that these kinds of situations can feel overwhelming.\u00a0 It\u2019s also true that the analytics and insights tools in an assessment platform like Elastik can be used to help improve learning outcomes in these circumstances.<\/p>\n

Assessment platforms are frequently included in School Improvement Plans because they do the hard lifting on the data side and provide insights that allow leadership teams to get to the \u2018what next\u2019 stage of problem-solving more quickly.<\/p>\n

A deep understanding of, say, learning gaps and where those gaps are, allows teachers to put effective plans in place which enable their school to level up quickly.\u00a0 This means they can benchmark, take an evidence-based approach to raising standards or learning outcomes, and then re-assess to make sure they are back on track.<\/p>\n

However, assessment platforms aren\u2019t only useful to support low achieving students, or students with special educational needs.<\/p>\n

In our work with schools, we see major benefits with assessment platforms for high achieving students.<\/p>\n

Often this group sees<\/span> value loss in the later years of primary school, with their growth plateauing. As teachers we want to stretch our high achievers. It can even be tempting to level them up to content that is beyond their academic year.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s important to remember that their high overall performance may mask unrecognised learning gaps. Getting 90% in a test is a great result \u2013 but that 10% of dropped marks may indicate that they are missing a foundation skill which is essential if they are going to continue to move forward in their learning.<\/p>\n

In addition, our high achievers may find it difficult to acknowledge that there are areas where they struggle. They may be ambitious and gung-ho or super-competitive. Or they may suffer from imposter syndrome and be terrified that their gaps will be discovered.<\/p>\n

Assessment platforms allow teachers to discover those Achilles heels \u2013 and fix them \u2013 before they bring learning to an abrupt halt further down the line.<\/p>\n

This formative learning approach also helps these more able children to learn best practice approaches to improving their weaker areas. The very specific, curriculum-linked nature of the feedback from assessment platforms like Elastik can help them see a learning gap as a concept to be bridged, rather than a problem or a weakness in themselves.<\/p>\n

An outcome which will make them stronger and more capable independent learners long into the future.<\/p>\n
