Since Monday, September 9, national assessments have been generalized to all levels of elementary school. In addition to CP, CE1 and CM1, CE2 and CM2 students will also be affected by these tests, which are intended to help teachers adjust their teaching interventions to ensure that students master basic knowledge. The method is highly contested by three teachers’ unions (including Snuipp-FSU, the main primary school union) who are calling for a strike in schools this Tuesday, September 10. The idea is to block these generalized assessments.
Decoding exercise in reading or calculation in mathematics, primary school pupils will be subjected to tests and assessed from this week. A useful tool for Anne, a CM2 teacher.
« My goal in my class is to have a snapshot of my class at a given moment, in this case at the beginning of the year, which allows me to have a small picture of where the students are and what the teaching priorities are for the year. ” says the teacher.
Conversely, for Guislaine David of Snuipp-FSU, the main primary school union, these assessments are useless, because they do not take into account the different learning rates of children… She gives the example of the reading test.
