Teaching through the pandemic 2 – Gemma Scott
A secondary head of maths talks about formative and summative assessment strategies under Covid-19 restrictions
13/10/2020
Gemma Scott is Director of Maths at a large 11-18 comprehensive school in East Yorkshire. Restrictions to reduce virus transmission in schools limit teachers’ opportunity to assess student progress in many of the usual ways. Circulating the classroom to help individuals, and marking books, for example, are subject to new restrictions in most schools. Gemma discusses how her department have approached this, and what they are using in place of their usual assessment practices.
