This page has been setup after a great conversation between myself @mrcursontweets and @kishtiaq about assessment. I and a few others have always been wary about levels and the need to adhere to a system which is slowly becoming out of date and discredited. However we still need to a) show progress and b) perhaps baseline pupils when they arrive in year 7. I think that #digitalbadges handles the progress but we perhaps need a a way of baselining pupils. So this page is simply a place to see if we can pull together some ideas for a way of baselining pupils.
