Using The Engagement Profile and Scale (EPS) for Baseline Assessment.

In these days of Assessment without Levels , a new range of possibilities emerge for utilising the EPS for  the continuous assessment of children with Special Educational Needs.
The article by Karam Bogal on pages 16-19 of the latest issue of SEND magazine, illustrates how the EPS can be used effectively for Baseline Assessment. ( see below.)
This article is based on  a final study Karam conducted , under my supervision , for his Schools Direct PGCE programme.  It shows that there is always  something for teachers to learn from each other –  whatever stage they are at in their careers.
