New Updates - Progression in the New KS3 #historyteacher

Just a short post to say that I have updated a range of content to do with progression models for the new KS3. I have made a lot of amendments thanks to some very productive discussions with people online and in departments around the country. I have attached my DRAFT rationale for History, which outlines some of my current thinking - any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I have also updated the old posts with the new materials.

Some of the key changes include:

  • A greater focus on the assessment process - linking concepts to specific knowledge.
  • A removal of the concepts booklet for students - replacing this with very specific, student friendly mark schemes for every assessment.
  • A revision of the totalisers for Y7-9 so students can keep track of their progress in a general sense as well as a specific conceptual sense
  • The introduction of a student assessment system based on effort and progress rather than arbitrary grading.
  • The revision of some of the concepts to remove on or two of the more esoteric signposts.
  • Renaming the Concepts to Learning Objectives (I know - it felt wrong, but kids know what this means).
  • Drafting two example assessments to show how the process of assessment might work in practice.
  • The writing of student friendly versions of the concepts in the format: What do go historians do?
  • The production of new poster materials for classrooms.
  • The removal of generic descriptors in mark schemes altogether and hopefully a greater focus on the specific.
  • A rationale for planning and teaching in the new KS3.


All thoughts and comments appreciated.

Hi Alex,

I just wanted to thank you for all the hard work you've put into creating a new progression model for history. You work has been really useful in informing my own thinking on the matter. I'm currently studying for an MA History Education at IoE and i'm planning on researching into progression models.

As far as I am aware, yours is one of the most though-out research based models I can find which is great.

I would be interested to hear how your new model is working in practice, having been teaching it for this year. In particular, how have the strands for each concept worked out? Do you feel you would add any more strands? Take any away? Edit some?

Don't feel like you have to reply, we are all busy teachers! But any future blog posts on your progress would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again.
