Using CEM’s Systems to Monitor Pupils’ Progress
CEM systems
• 1.1 million assessments are delivered each year
• Pupils aged 3 – 18 years
2
• Pupils aged 3 – 18 years
• CEM systems used in 44 countries
Scotland
• CEM works with 15 Scottish Authorities– 650 schools use the Primary 1 Baseline Assessment
3
• England• Scotland • Wales• Australia• New Zealand
• Abu Dhabi• International Schools
PIPS On-entry Baseline Assessment
4
• Netherlands• Germany• South Africa• Hong Kong• Serbia• Luxembourg
Why assess?
• Profile of strengths and weaknesses for planning appropriate learning experiences
• Early indicator of special educational
5
• Early indicator of special educational needs
• Monitor progress and attitudes of pupils and cohorts over time
• Comparisons– Children within a class– Groups such as boys/girls– Classes within a year-group– Current cohorts with previous ones– Other schools within a consortium and nationally
6
– Other schools within a consortium and nationally
• Progress over time
• Research– Within school– Nationally and internationally
• Layers of information:– Diagnostic at pupil-level– Group and class trends– School-level information (including trends
7
– School-level information (including trends over time)
– Authority-level– National-level
• Pre-school and Primary– Start and end of Pre-school
• Secondary– Start of S1– S2– Predictions of later
8
school– Start and end of Primary 1
– P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, P7
– Predictions of later assessment grades
Designing a baseline assessmentfor young children
• For value-added purposes, need items that are good indicators of later attainment

Child development and predicting later attainment
• Speech & Language– Before 6 months vowels are predominant– After 6 months use of consonants– 8 months: Babbling
13
– 8 months: Babbling– 1 year: 6 words recognised by mother– 18 months: Approx. 50 words understood by mother– 2 years: Mother understands language– 3 years: Other adults understand language
Reading
When beginning to read, children need different types of knowledge:
• Global and cultural awareness
• Vocabulary and basic
14
• Vocabulary and basic understanding of language
• Conventions of print
• Phonological awareness
Mathematics
• Babies born with numerosity of small quantities– Before acquisition of language– Subitising
15
Early Arithmetic

• Attitudes• Behaviour
What children know and can do:Lowest 1% in Scotland
• Vocabulary– Carrots, castle, butterfly
• Early Reading
19
– Differentiate between reading and writing activities
• Early Maths– Identify biggest and smallest objects from a group of three
Average in Scotland
• Vocabulary– Saxophone, toadstool
• Early Reading– Identify several upper and lower case letters
20
– Identify several upper and lower case letters
• Early Maths– Name single digits– Solve informally presented sums
Highest 1% in Scotland
• Early Reading– Read passages which include words such as ‘your’, ‘leave’, ‘everyone’, ‘thought’
21
• Early Maths– Carry out formally presented calculations e.g. 42 – 17 =
– Identify 3-digit numbers
Primary 2 – 7 ~ Diagnostic
• Reading– Word Recognition, Decoding, Comprehension
• Spelling• General Maths
22
• General Maths• Mental Arithmetic• Attitudes• Picture Vocabulary• Non-verbal Ability

28
In Primary 3, Ian’s Picture Vocabulary and Non-verbal Ability are also assessed
29
The Non-Verbal elementassesses Ian’s ability to solve novel puzzles
quickly and accurately
30
Combined, these assessments give a
picture of Ian’s ‘Developed Ability’
31
Ian’s Developed Ability score suggests that he is a very able boy, far above
average
32
Ian might be able to do better in maths but without the added dimension of Developed Ability (Vocabulary and Non-verbal Ability), it would be
difficult to identify this
