Assessment is for Learning

1. Assessment is for Learning Self and peer assessment

2. Engaged pupils are reflective • pupils take responsibility for their learning • pupils monitor their own progress • understand their strengths and weaknesses • pupils can achieve a goal and can assess what they need to do to achieve it

3. What do we do? • tell learners what they need to learn and how they will know they have been successful • help learners understand what constitutes quality work • help to develop the skills and techniques required to assess what they have achieved

4. How do we do it ? • model marking a piece of work • paired marking/ buddy /shoulder partners • talking partners • two stars and a wish • what did you learn today - teacher/buddy/ parent • learning logs / termly targets • talk about thinking • have sticky will evaluate • rubrics

5. Debrief regularly * what made you think? * what helped you? * what do you need more help with? * what are you most pleased about learning? * how/what would you change?

6. How do you feel? • thumbs up • traffic lights • fist of five

7. Pupils can only achieve a learning goal if they understand that goal and can assess what they need to do to achieve it. So self assessment is essential to learning. Black et al
