Commenting on the project, Ben Elliott, Director of Corporate Services at Higham Lane School said, «There is a shortage of quality sixth form provision in our area and
feedback from students has
indicated a strong preference to stay on and study for A-levels at Higham Lane School.»
The evidence
from research on these and other systems
indicate that through using performance assessments schools can focus instruction on higher order skills, provide a more accurate measure of what
students know and can do, engage
students more deeply in learning, and provide for more timely
feedback to teachers, parents, and
students in order to monitor and alter instruction.
