Assessment

Assessment FOR Learning:

Sometimes referred to as formative assessment. Here the assessment is carefully designed and used to impact learning. Feedback is used to stimulate reflection, which drives learning (see our Learning Diagram).

According to Hattie, it is best when it is ‘in the moment’.

Assessment AS Learning:

Research suggests that this type of assessment can be the most impactful, when used well. Here, the assessment is actually part of the learning process. It usually involves students self assessing and reflecting on their own learning in a way that drives the learning.

Learning Reflection Conferences

When implemented well, and with a clear purpose, Learning Reflection Conferences can be an effective way to have an impact on learning. To do so, however, they must be

• Led by the student. It is their learning and they should own and lead it.

• An opportunity for the student to reflect on their learning

• An opportunity for the student to receive feedback, and so drive further reflection.

• Learning Outcome focused

• An opportunity for a student to set targets and goals for further improvement.

• An opportunity to include parents in the feedback process
