The Assessment for Learning Series readers
Primary and secondary versions of our new Assessment for Learning practical guides give practical advice on ways to improve and develop Assessment for Learning in the classroom in a quick and easy to read format.
What readers are included in the Assessment for Learning series?
Asking Better Questions reader
An interactive classroom relies on skilled questioning techniques. These readers include many practical ideas and case studies which will help teachers to ask better questions and ask questions better. They are based on the assumption that if you want to increase the level of challenge in the questions you ask you need to increase the amount of support you give pupils to answer these questions.
Asking Better Questions is also available as in-school training.
Making Feedback Count reader
Pupils need good quality feedback that helps them to learn more and to improve. Yet classrooms where there may be one teacher and thirty pupils are not particularly feedback-rich environments. Teachers need to ensure the feedback that they give, both written and verbal is as effective as it can be. These readers provide teachers with a wealth of practical ideas and case studies to support giving effective feedback.
Making Feedback Count is also available as in-school training.
Sharing Learning Intentions reader
Sharing Learning Intentions was the first aspect of Assessment for Learning that most schools focused on, although many have found it a difficult area to deal with. Teachers have found writing success criteria challenging. Too often sharing learning intentions and success criteria has become a paper exercise with teachers and pupils going through the motions. These readers will provide teachers with key ideas and case studies to help them share learning intentions with their pupils - to their mutual benefit.
Sharing Learning Outcomes is also available as in-school training.
Promoting Assessment by Pupils reader
These readers focus on promoting assessment by pupils as part of meaningful, sustainable personal learning planning. They visit the areas of Assessment for Learning that are critical in this process and draw on examples of good practice in peer and self assessment. They provide the teacher with case studies and a wealth of ideas to help their pupils take more responsibility for their own learning.
Promoting Assessment by Pupils is also available as in-school training.
