Assessment FOR Learning

Practical strategies for making judgements that raise achievement

Reasons for attending this programme:
Would it be easier if your learners were expert in making judgements about what they know and understand now, where they want to go and what they need to do to get there? Being better equipped to make judgements about their own learning motivates them to be more reflective and move easily and effectively through the whole learning cycle to achieve success.
Assessment for Learning is explicitly designed to promote learning and is the single most powerful tool we have for both raising standards and empowering lifelong learners.

What is this training about?
Assessment for learning provides insight into learning for both students and tutors. It promotes success for all, supports the target-setting process and enables continuous reflection on what is known now and what they need to know next. It measures what is valued, promotes immediate intervention and links judgements to learning intentions. It raises standards by taking students to the ‘edges of capability’.

During this programme you learn:

  • How Assessment for Learning (AfL) compares with Assessment of Learning
  • The ten principles that underlie AfL
  • Classroom strategies and techniques that deliver AfL
  • How this effective tool can be utilised within your learning environments
  • To embed, reinforce and personalise learning

Impact

  • Students engage in reflection and judgement of themselves and their learning, that is continuous, easy and fun
  • Students are motivated and successful by understanding the assessment criteria
  • Peer assessment reinforces how to learn and how their learning is assessed
  • Achievement is recognised at every stage and raised overall

  • This course has been worth every penny. Fast doesn’t mean lacking in quality. The sheer tonnage of information is astonishing. It’s so worth it. You will learn a lot even if you are a very experienced teacher and you will enjoy it
    Dr Sharon Ney

  • It doesn’t matter how experience you are, go for it. The training was the most magic. Teaching must go over to learning and we in school have to take responsibility for that. I will use this in my work as a consultant helping schools to improve. Many many thanks for a great course.
    Anita Svennson,Swedish Educational consultant

  • I may wobble but I move forward with a giggle into all that is possible. The course has accelerated my own slow and steady learning into the amazing and continued possibility of learning
    Vicky Morgan,College lecturer

  • This was loads of fun and I loved it. Fun and interactive ways of learning and how to apply that to teaching. Some may think that its only for teachers but we are all teachers in different areas. This course totally surpassed my expectations and all my goals were achieved. Creative teaching makes you want to teach. I highly recommend it so that more good teachers equal more confident kids. Just do it!
