LIVE ONLINE NEW ‘Assessment should be Indistinguishable from Learning’ (Assessment IN Learning)

Course date: 26th Sep 2023

This one-day course will focus on assessment as an ongoing process, which should be “Indistinguishable” from teaching and learning, not an additional ‘bolt on’. 

Building on, and deepening work from former assessment courses, we will explore a range of practical strategies that can be implemented at classroom level to enhance your school’s “brand” for AiL and to help accelerate pupil progress.

A range of practical resources will be provided as part of this day.
