This is a little blog I write for Osiris. It appears here a month or so after being submitted.
Okay, so you’ve got used to the idea that levels have been
consigned to the dustbin of history. On the one hand you feel smugly pleased to
have made the leap of faith and put your trust in the concept of consolidation
before progression, but on the other hand you feel strangely naked without the
comfort blanket of APP to wrap round you. For, with the loss of levels, we also
lost all that work we had done in making APP work.
I’ve always loved the use of the three letter abbreviation,
TLA, to describe a three letter abbreviation. It’s got a kind of US English
madness to it. So, despite the loss of APP, we can still appeal to another TLA
to see us through this mire of assessment; AFL.
AFL is where it’s at with this business of tracking pupil progress.
