About this workshops:

Leadership for Teacher Learning (Day 1-March26)
The workshop will introduce leaders to the five questions that every school leader needs to ask of research, and show that, in terms of the available evidence, nothing is more effective than supporting teachers in the development of their practice of classroom formative assessment. The workshop will conclude by providing participants with what they need to implement a two-year professional development programme focused on classroom formative assessment through the use of school-based teacher learning communities.

EMBEDDING FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT (2-day workshop on March 27-28)
There is now a large and growing evidence base that helping teachers develop their use of minute-to-minute and day-by-day assessment is one of, if not the most powerful ways to improve student learning. However, adopting formative assessment, or assessment for learning as it is sometimes called, involves far more than adding a few “quick fixes” to teachers’ classroom repertoires. It involves a fundamental shift in focus, from what the teacher is putting in to the process to what the students are getting out of it.

In this 2-day workshop, participants will learn:

• • What formative assessment is (and isn't)

• • Practical techniques for implementing formative assessment in classrooms

• • How to sustain the development of formative assessment with teacher learning communities
