Life after Levels: The next steps

Schools need to take the bull by the horns when planning for life after national curriculum levels. Mick Walker advises on some key next steps

The education system is yet again undergoing radical change with a revised national curriculum and a more demanding accountability framework at key stages 2 and 4. This is made more challenging by the addition of Baseline Assessments, new national curriculum tests, amendments to the moderation system, and revisions to GCSE and GCE A levels.

Yet despite all this turbulence, I believe there is real hope and a massive opportunity for the teaching profession to take the assessment bull by the horns and use it to regain professional standing. More importantly, the renewed focus on progression can actually improve the teaching and learning process.
