The Suffolk Transition project for 2008-09 has entailed four of the previous case studies being extended. This interactive guidance package is intended to support primary, middle and secondary MFL subject leaders in ensuring progression in pupils' language learning through the key stages.

The purpose of the project is to provide an interactive tool for subject leaders using one key document called ‘Ensuring progression’. This document contains hyperlinks to all the other projects, so that if, for example, a subject leader is thinking about assessment, he/she can click on the link and automatically get online advice, resources, video footage and so on.

Impact
Suffolk teachers are aware of appropriate advice for Transfer and Transition issues and the support available. They are talking about the key issues in their schools and are making use of the examples from the website. Teachers are starting to look at assessment in a more systematic way and have a raised awareness of the different possibilities. Schools are beginning to shift from knowledge about coverage to knowledge about what individuals know, understand and can do. To access this and new resources prepared during the second year of the project please visit Suffolk County Council school-portal website. You can access full report here (doc, 58KB)
