  5.

Share your ideas on a walkaround. The Benefits of AifL / Formative Assessment

  6. Watch the Dylan William clip. 5 Key Strategies: Finding out where the learner is. Generating and understanding success criteria. Providing feedback that moves the learner forward. Learner self-assessment. Learner peer-assessment. The Formative Processes

  7.
