Life After Levels: One school’s story of transforming primary assessment
Autor Sam Hunteren Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 aug 2016
Together, the Headteacher and staff at one successful school took on the challenge:
- Where do we begin?
- What is the best assessment system for our school and our children?
- How do we make the most of assessment opportunities in the classroom?
- How do we create an assessment policy from scratch and implement it in the school?
- How do we evaluate it, re-shape it and talk about it to parents, the wider school community and our colleagues in primary education?
"The removal of Levels has given all professionals involved in education a unique opportunity to rediscover what we value in this key aspect of teaching and learning...and it is an opportunity that we must grab with both hands. I want this book to provide a time for reflection for teachers and school leaders to re-adjust their thinking on assessment and to get excited about it."

Recenzii
As a busy teaching head, I didn’t think I’d have time to read ‘Life After Levels’ by Sam Hunter – how wrong I was! A quick flick through showered me with nuggets of useful information and ideas to share with staff. It’s easy to dip into, easy to navigate and reading it isn’t a chore.
This book, I decided, is a really welcome, ‘on-side’ read for beleaguered professionals trying to achieve their best and create the most effective systems in the current assessment climate.
‘Life After Levels’ is reassuringly rooted in research - but filled with practical tips ready to lift straight off the page and straight into the classroom! I’m going to share one (or more) of the strategy tips from the end of the book at each staff meeting from now on.
The book is well written and down-to-earth; it is firmly based in classroom learning, with children at the heart of the concepts. A practical and reassuring book that will guide schools and help the development of new assessment systems, as well as helping with the implementation and effectiveness of current systems.

Sam believes in the power that quality assessment creates for transforming teaching and learning. Life After Levels is her first book and her aim is to ensure that schools feel confident in creating their own ethos of assessment, which has pupils¿ learning at its centre rather than a fear of accountability. She believes that pupils¿ understanding of their role in learning underpins successful assessment.
Sam is passionate about school-to-school support and is also a guest contributor to TES.
