Personalising progress
Description
Can the DCSF's stickman model of looking at cohort data actually help schools deal with under-attainment and personalised learning? Find out as Headteachers and staff from two schools give it a road-test.Developed by Sue Hackman, Chief Advisor for School Standards at DCSF, the stickman approach is designed to help schools shift those pupils who are still not reaching national expectations. Like many schools, Ellen Wilkinson Primary and Addington High School are both concerned with raising standards and tackling under-attaining pupils. They meet with Hackman to hear her thesis: that by identifying specific types of under-attainers - slow-moving , stuck , and regressing - and tailoring interventions and strategies for each group, standards can be raised. Back in their schools, they test it out, incorporating the approach alongside existing tracking methods alongside a range of more personalised strategies for moving these pupils forward.
