Assessment for learning

last updated:

Find out how you can mark work in ways that will motivate pupils to improve, and how pupils’ talk can help you to uncover their misconceptions.

Questions asked include:

• How can we increase our pupils’ confidence in their ability to learn?
• How can you mark work in ways that will motivate pupils to improve?
• How can pupils’ talk help you to uncover their misconceptions?
• How deep is the dialogue that takes place in your classroom?

The evidence comes from the following Research for Teachers (RfT) summaries:

• Assessment for learning, putting it into practice
• Learning science
• Effective teachers of numeracy
• Effective talk in the classroom
