Wiliam & Leahy's Five Formative Assessment Strategies in Action
Written under the guidance and with the support of Dylan Wiliam, Kate Jones writes about five formative assessment strategies in action in the classroom, with a foreword from Professor John Hattie. Building on the highly successful work of Wiliam and Siobhan Leahy, ideas are shared and misconceptions with formative assessment are addressed with lots of practical advice.
Formative assessment in action focuses on five evidence-informed strategies that the teacher can use to support their learners to make progress. Formative assessment can help both the teacher and student understand what needs to be learned and how this can be achieved. During the learning process, formative assessment can identify students’ progress as well as highlighting gaps in their knowledge and understanding, therefore giving the teacher useful insight as to what feedback and instruction can be provided to continue to move learners forward. The book, part of the In Action series edited by Tom Sherrington, features a range of case studies from different subjects and key stages to show how formative assessment can be embedded across a curriculum successfully.

I need to read more books based on teaching.
I worry as I approach nearly a decade teaching...(WHAT? WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?) that I'm going to be just complacent and stagnant - or even worse, my teaching deteriorates.
To be honest, we do get up-to-date CPD now but not as often as I would like so I need to work on my own CPD. I'm hoping to read a book relating to teaching once a week over the summer holidays in hope that I better serve my new class in September.
I spent a lot of this book highlighting key information. It had nothing in there that I didn't know but it was nice to be reminded of these key points. A definite must read for all in education.
