How realistic is recording progress in sub levels!?

[Imsosorryalan]

Yes, I've got my pupil progress meeting today yet another occasion when It seems an utterly pointless excercise. An hour spent discussing pupils who haven't made a sub level progress and having to explain why a sub level is I achievable when they were graded too high last year. Aargh.

I feel for you. Learning is not linear. Pupils often learn in fits and starts and levels are so rubbish they are being abandoned by the gov! Hope it goes well for you.

Levels were never designed to be used in this way or sub levelled. They are made up. Smile sweetly and bulls**t. You know the strengths and weaknesses of your students, you help them improve. Good luck

SMT never want to talk about the ones that have made more than expected progress either, do they!? They aren't interested in celebrating the good stuff you've done, just in criticising the bits they deem not good enough!

Yep, total waste of time. However it also had the added bonus of having to take pre teaching groups BEFORE school to get them up to scratch
