Start date

Duration
2 Days
Learning Method
Remote Delivered CPD
Summary
Explore strategies which will enable you to lead your colleagues in embedding assessment for learning (AfL) practices in science. Quality assessment is more than written exams but embedding proper formative techniques can be challenging. The use of well-thought-out assessments can enhance student outcomes and enable students to make good progression in secondary science.
"Feel secure in your understanding of how to make judgements on students' progress. We will also support you to embed a wide vareity of assessment opportunities in your schemes of learning. Use diagnostic tools to identify levels of understanding, as well as the means to tackle any preconceptions that students have which might hinder their progress if not addressed.
If you are early in your teaching career, you will find lots of useful ideas to immediately use and adapt into your current teaching. However, if you are more experienced or a head of department then you will find lots of advice and support to embed within their departments practice."
