Assessment for learning NE711 / A24
Summary
“Learners do not always learn what we teach. That is why the most important assessment does not happen at the end of learning, it happens during the learning, when there is still time to do something with what you find out.” - Dylan Wiliam.
This self-paced online course will help you ask better questions and design activities to find out what's inside your students' heads, and this will be key in helping you make those decisions about next steps.
