STEPS Key Stage 3: Starter Kit by Darrick Wood School (author) and Martin Smith (author)

Discover STEPS: an exciting new planning, assessment and tracking solution for secondary schools – created by teachers and fully tested in schools.

STEPS (Strategic Targets for Educational Progress and Success) provides a simple method of measuring attainment and progress in Years 7-9. The STEPS programme:

Allows teachers to monitor progress over a variable timescale

Provides clear pupil targets and finely-levelled pupil feedback

Includes baseline assessment tests for benchmarking

Helps you collect valid, consistent and purposeful data

Predicts grades and compares attainment across subjects

Flexible and easy to implement, STEPS provides a framework with which schools can develop their own programmes.

Each STEPS Starter Kit includes:

Implementation Guides
Teacher Guides
Assessments for English, Maths, Science, Geography, History, Computing, Art and Design, Drama, D&T, Music, RS, PE and Languages
