MAPP is a suite of materials developed by The Dales School to facilitate the planning, assessment and recording of progress in relation to personal learning intentions. In particular it provides a way of recognising lateral progression.

The materials divide into two main sections. The first focuses on setting learning intentions whilst the second focuses on assessment. It is important to note that the Continuum of Skill Development (CSD) which makes up section 2 of MAPP is an independent tool and can be used to evaluate progress against learning intentions which are drawn from sources other than section 1 of MAPP.

If the answer is ‘yes’....EQUALS has entered into a partnership with Derbyshire County Council who have produced an electronic School Self Evaluation Summary (SES) document which is aligned to the new Ofsted Inspection Framework and Evaluation Schedule.

It is a flexible tool and enables you to capture in one place an overview of your school, your evaluation of the evidence and the associated judgements. There is also the opportunity to link this directly to your school improvement plan.

Are you needing a replacement to the old Ofsted Self Evaluation Form (SEF)?
