Our Assessment Procedures
At Elevated Futures, assessment is a tool for understanding, not just measuring. We have moved beyond deficit-based models that simply identify gaps. Our assessment procedures are designed to discover, celebrate, and build upon pupil strengths.
Our Core Principles:
- Strengths-Based: Our first question is always, "What can this pupil do?" We use their "superpowers" as the gateway to new learning.
- Holistic: We assess the whole child. Academic progress is tracked alongside personal, social, and emotional development.
- Formative & Dynamic: Assessment is a constant, ongoing process that allows the "Living DDP" to be updated in real-time.
- Co-Owned: Pupils are active partners in their assessment, helping to build the crucial skill of self-advocacy.
- Purposeful: The final goal is not a grade, but a successful transition, building a 5-year portfolio of skills and achievements.
