Assessment for Learning

(3 day course) (Monday 26th,Tuesday 27th and Wednesday 28th July)

To believe in learning, we must also believe that children must be involved in evaluating their learning, receiving ongoing feedback about how their learning is progressing and how it can be improved. This course explores the principles of Assessment for Learning and helps you to consider ways of implementing it in your school

By the end of the course you will:

  • know more about learning and how to tell that it is really happening
  • know about the difference between assessment for reporting and assessment for learning
  • know how we can use assessments to help children learn
  • know the different approaches that support the assessment of knowledge, skills and understanding
  • know about the rubrics used to assess skills in the IPC Assessment for Learning Programme
  • be able to use Assessment for Learning in your classroom
  • be able to implement the Assessment for Learning Programme in your school
  • be able to use the assessment for learning database to record learning and to inform report writing
