MANAGING ASSESSMENT FOR LEARNING - HOW LEARNING PLATFORMS CAN HELP BUSY TEACHERS MANAGE ASSESSMENT FOR LEARNING (I)

How to succeed with assessment for learning:
Most teachers and researchers agree that assessment for learning can help raise teaching quality, improve the learning experience for students and increase student outcomes. but how can time- pressed teachers, who relate to as many as 170 students a week, deliver quality feedback to each and every student?

How to make assessment for learning work:
For many teachers, success with assessment for learning boils down to time: the more students a teacher interacts with, the more time it takes to deliver high-quality feedback that students can use to improve their performance. This paper shows how teachers can put assessment for learning into practice successfully. it also looks at how a learning platform can give more people, including senior leaders and parents, a clear overview of student progress - and gives practical examples of simple assessment practices that can be delivered electronically.
