Learning Objectives and Assessment Criteria.
Learning Objectives are the things that students should be learning. They form the basis of a scheme of work and are exemplified by the old framework folder or by the hyperlinks after each statement on the following link:
http://nationalstrategies.standards.dcsf.gov.uk/secondary/framework/maths/fwsm/mlo and then ticking the ones that you want.
The Assessment criteria are the statements for APP which you should use to decide what level a student is at. You can find these by using the link above to select the Learning Objectives and then once these appear click on the APP link at the foot of that page to see the Assessment criteria that go with them. These are the phrases that are used in the APP booklet recently distributed at the Subject Leaders day (25th March) which shows two levels per page and is available to download from the link: http://nationalstrategies.standards.dcsf.gov.uk/node/150769
