A quick read that sets out the case for formative assessment as a prime contributor to improving learning. Worthwhile as it pulls together many ideas in few words.

Great ideas, terrible writing.

[Richard · Rating 5 out of 5]

Assessment is no mere technical problem. It is deeply social and personal. It is tied up in belief systems, institutional structures, agendas, and values. It is the source of conflict and friction and stimulates powerful feelings of being overwhelmed, and of insecurities, guilt, frustration, and anger. Yet,

Assessment centered around teacher-student interactions, and student meta-cognition and self-evaluation are the most powerful learning tools available. In other words, Formative Assessment should be the foundation of our educational system.

The is no magic bullet, no set of curriculum, no external controls or contrived devices that could trump Formative Assessment, the cognizant interaction between teacher and student, and students with their own learning.

Really useful for my essay, and a very quick read. All seems so obvious now that it is well-established that Assessment for Learning is so effective.

Formative assessment is an incredibly important part of a classroom and this research gives clear evidence and indications for school leaders on how this can be implemented.
