Educator Appraisal

The GL assessments resources are a collection of resources to screen students with emerging needs to help offer them additional support. The resource is easy to access for teachers or teaching assistants, it's very detailed and user friendly. However, it is very time consuming to set up and may have limited scope for children who have complex needs or multiple difficulties. It's really useful for children going through exams and assessments as it can be used as evidence to support additional reqiurements in exams.

Evidence Rating

The evidence provided for the Exact assessment suite clearly demonstrates that it is a valid and reliable test. This means that they are likely to measure what they are supposed to measure, and that when administered on multiple occasions or by a different administrator, the results are likely to be consistent. Unfortunately, there is insufficient detail in the available evidence to determine whether the studies were appropriately controlled or powered, so the Gl assessment cannot be rated higher, although it should be noted that the studies were conducted across multiple schools and geographic locations in the UK.
