PRIMARY TEACHERS - TASK and SEAL?

In a school visit, the head mentioned these 2 initiatives (TASK and SEAL) that they use. If you've read my other thread, you'll see I've not taught mainstream for a while so sorry if these are old initiatives.
What are they, just incase they come up in an interview?
Are there any other initiatives I should know about for KS1? Anything in the last 3-4 years?
THANKS

SEAL = Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning a PSHE programme.

Are you familiar with the new Primary Framework for Literacy and Numeracy? If not, it's worth having a look on the Standards Website.

Also, google Assessment for Learning and APP (assessment).

Not sure what TASK is, sorry.

Thanks Febes and Littlefish.
I've been working in SEN for a few years so I'm expecting things to have changed a bit but hopefully not too much. I'll definately be taking a look at the standards site.

TASC = Thinking Actively in a Social Context. Its a framework for children working independently of the teacher to solve problems. Lots on internet if you google it.
And I second looking at Assessment For Learning. Very big at the moment and (shockingly) works!!

Yes, and read Shirley Clarke's book. An awful lot has changed even in the year I have had off for maternity leave.
