Yr7 PE Baseline tasks

So, what are baseline tests? They are tasks that provide both teachers and pupils with an authentic context in which to teach and learn in each unit of work. Baseline tests can be pitched or targeted at different levels of ability so that all pupils make progress. They allow pupils opportunities to demonstrate what they know, can do and understand in authentic contexts. The baseline tests allow clear outcomes for pupils to achieve and for teachers to standardise, evaluate and assess against.
The baseline tests can be used at the start of Yr7 or throughout a unit of work. The task can be recorded at the start of a unit and then again throughout and at the end to provide an assessment opportunity for teachers to engage in dialogue with pupils.
The baseline tests provide a focus and in which to perform and gives the pupils something to visualise and compare their performance against.
