Detailed instructions on how to use the Scottish Council for Research in Education (SCRE) Profile Assessment System are presented in a manual intended for use by individual teachers. The system, consisting of a set of materials composed of a large Class Assessment Sheet and 30 individual-pupil records, is used for recording pupil assessments in the basic skills (oral and written; visual understanding and expression; number; physical co-ordination; and manual dexterity), specific subject area, and the work-related skills of enterprise and perseverance. Instructions are given on how to collate the assessments for each pupil, as well as suggestions for using the profiles in various ways, including curricular and vocational guidance. Examples of completed school-leaving report forms are included, and examples of teacher guides which may be used as models for the assessment of basic skills are provided for use in preparing the subject achievement section of the profile. An appendix contains samples of teachers' guides in English and physical education. (RL)
