Early Years is the game changer - Using baseline assessments to unlock potential

Thursday 14 November, 8am (UK)

Webinar information

How much of an impact does a child’s first year at school have on their future progress?

Knowing where your learners are starting from with a baseline assessment can help you plan for each child and make effective provision. Through an engaging, story-based digital assessment, BASE, the Early Years baseline assessment from Cambridge, allows each child to demonstrate abilities that you may not see through observational assessment alone.

In 45 minutes, you’ll learn how a baseline assessment helps international schools to:

  • Benchmark what your students’ levels of ability are when you start working with them.
  • Highlight any hidden talent or undiscovered strengths.
  • Suggest where additional support is needed.
  • Give you the opportunity to tailor your teaching, using personalised reports.
  • Offer an objective measurement that helps you compare/track children’s progress and prepare them for long-term success.

Who is this for?

This webinar is ideal for Heads of Early Years Centres, Early Years Practitioners, and Teachers.

Not free to attend? You can still sign up; the recording will be sent to all registrants after the webinar.

We hope to see you there!
