How can we assess learning and engagement during our trial?
Trialling now>press>play is an exciting opportunity - but to make an informed decision about its long-term use, we need to go beyond impressions and gather clear, structured feedback. That’s where an assessment pack comes in.
Our 'Learning & Engagement Assessment Pack' and 'Pupil Voice Document' are a simple yet effective way for you to assess learning and engagement during your trial.
Why use a Learning & Engagement Assessment Pack?
Move beyond just anecdotal impressions and provide clear evidence about the value of the resource:
- Measure learning impact - track what pupils remember and understand, link directly to curriculum objectives and highlight key learning outcomes from each Experience.
- Evaluate pupil engagement - assess emotional and behavioural engagement, highlight which moments truly capture attention and identify learning preferences.
- Inform teaching practice - promote teacher reflection after each session, highlights which Experiences integrate well with classroom topics and are useful for adapting planning and differentiation.
- Provide evidence for SLT & Curriculum Leads - structured feedback supports decision-making and can clearly demonstrate impact with real data and examples.
Why use a Pupil Voice Document?
