Assessment,
Feedback

Description:
Formative assessment and feedback are closely linked, (more than is the case with summative assessment). With formative assessment teachers are seeking to give frequent and low stakes feedback (potentially several times in a lesson). When done effectively formative assessment and feedback encourage students to focus on their own learning and improvement, rather than success or failure. In this session the presenter, who has experience working with both primary and secondary students, will share their approach to formative assessment and feedback, including tasks that can be used across the curriculum. During the session participants will be encouraged to share their own formative assessment tasks, creating a pool of ideas for each person to takeaway for their own classroom.

Standards addressed:

• 5.1.2 Assess learning
• 5.2.2 Provide feedback to learners about their learning

Course Length: 1 hour
