The latest innovation from Cambridge will empower primary school teachers to unlock the potential of every learner with instant, targeted next steps for teaching.
Cambridge Primary Insight is a digital baseline assessment that has been used in primary schools for over twenty years. The assessment provides teachers with instant insight into the skills and abilities of learners at the start of the learning cycle. Fast-forwarding the ‘getting to know you’ stage the baseline data enables teachers to develop detailed learning plans which challenge and stretch learners, or address areas for improvement with early interventions.
Now, Cambridge Primary Insight Plus offers even more time-saving value to teachers and schools with the introduction of teaching and learning guidance. Our Primary teaching and learning guidance is available for the four learning areas that are key contributors to the future educational success of your primary aged children:
- Mathematics
- Arithmetic
- Reading
- Spelling
Our teaching and learning guidance has been written by real teachers, experts in their field, and not by AI programmes. The pedagogical strategies, classroom resources and wider reading that we recommend is all tried and tested by real teachers with real children, to support the quality dataset that we provide.
It is accessed through the summary of scores group report you receive when a class or year group complete our Cambridge Primary Insight Plus assessment. Like our assessment, our teaching and learning materials are curriculum agnostic so can be woven into your existing schemes of work and lesson plans with ease.
To help you tailor your teaching, we’ve differentiated our guidance into age groups and four standardised score ranges:
- performance below typical range (scores <85);
- performance at lower end of typical range (scores 85-99);
- performance at higher end of typical range (scores 100-115);
- performance above typical range (scores >115).
Supporting our pedagogical advice are:
- classroom activities designed to be implemented the very next day
- classroom resources like worksheets or visuals to project from your whiteboards;
- links to third party content, like the incredible online mathematics resources from our colleagues at NRICH, based at Cambridge University’s Faculty of Mathematics.
