Benchmark Assessment with Sumdog: Identifying Core Numeracy Gaps

Establishing a shared understanding of pupil progress is essential for effective moderation and planning. This webinar explores how benchmark-style diagnostic assessments in Sumdog can be used to identify core numeracy gaps and support consistency across classes and stages.

You will learn how to use Sumdog’s diagnostic data to build a clear picture of strengths and areas for development, enabling meaningful professional dialogue within and across teams. 

From Data to Dialogue: Using Sumdog Reports for Parent Meetings and Pupil Progress Discussions

Clear, accessible data can transform conversations with parents, carers and pupils. This webinar explores how Sumdog reports can be used to support meaningful, evidence-based discussions about progress and next steps in learning.

You will learn how to interpret and present diagnostic and fluency reports in ways that are easy to understand and relevant to individual learners. 

Embedding Hot and Cold Tasks in Numeracy Teaching

Explore how Sumdog activities and challenges can be used to model hot and cold approaches within learning and teaching cycles.

You will examine practical ways to plan pre-assessment (cold) tasks and consolidation (hot) tasks using Sumdog, ensuring learning is targeted and responsive to pupil need.

Using Pre and Post Tests to Measure Impact and Target Support

Discover how pre- and post-tests in Sumdog can be used to establish clear baselines, track progress and target support where it is needed most.

You will explore how to design meaningful baseline and follow-up assessments, interpret the resulting data and use insights to evaluate the effectiveness of teaching strategies and interventions.

 

Using Data to Close the Attainment Gap: Tracking Progress with Sumdog

Watch our latest School Success webinar where we explored how Sumdog can help schools close the attainment gap by tracking progress and targeting support for PEF-funded learners.

With a focus on effective grouping, personalised practice and meaningful assessment, you'll discover how to use Sumdog’s reporting tools to identify learning gaps, monitor progress over time and evaluate the impact of interventions.
