If Geography departments are to measure progress, they must do so on the basis of data. The Geography Baseline Assessment provides the data you will need to show your students are making progress in a simple and easily understood way. The assessment is in three part, each one focusing on a key skill for geography. Part one is a multiple-choice test that assesses students' awareness of basic geographical terms, places and names. Part two of the assessment focuses on map skills. Part three poses a contemporary problem of settlement and population for students to solve and produce an action plan. Appended to the tests are comprehensive teacher's pages that explain how to use the data to plot progress on into Key Stage Three, using a tried and tested formula which actually delivers exactly what most heads of departments and students need: clear evidence of progress year on year. The evidence gathered can provide clear proof of progress for staff passing through the performance threshold. Geography Baseline Assessment has been based on the best selling History Baseline Assessment that is used by hundreds of schools across the U.K. One feature of the assessment that has proved popular with many staff is the multiple choice marking grids that allow each 50 question script to be marked in less than 10 seconds!
