Essential reading to support principled assessment decisions in the
classroom
Assessment has become an increasingly complex area for primary schools
in recent years, with schools and academy trusts trying to create their
own ways of assessing without levels. Trainee teachers find it hard to
understand key principles in assessment when practice in each of their
school experiences is so varied. This ′essentials′ text supports trainee
and beginning teachers to understand the current context and consider
essential principles for good practice in primary assessment.
The book:
- features explanations of key terminology
- includes practical examples from classrooms and schools
- supports teacher assessment literacy
- explores the assessment system as a whole
- covers formative and summative assessment, pupil progress, data and
moderation.
