In the process of compiling a Primary Science Quality Mark (PSQM) submission, teachers collect examples to evidence practice across their school. In this PSQM slide from Uplawmoor Primary School, a range of information is utilised to support teacher judgements about children’s learning, for example, concept cartoon discussions, Explorify odd one outs, Google Jamboard to collect questions, Microsoft Forms quizzes at the end of topics. (Digital resource emphasis due to Covid school closures). Drawing on a range of information in this way, helps teacher judgements to be more valid, because more of the curriculum is sampled.
