In a standards and certifications-driven educational system, quality assessment is relevant to determine how much learning really takes place in the classroom.
The focus of educational programs is shifting from having students who pass or fail, towards helping all students succeed in their own learning path. This is exactly where Assessment for Learning becomes a key foundation to assure the accuracy of classroom assessment in measuring students’ progress and ultimately if they are learning. In this webinar, the essentials of Assessment for Learning will be discussed as well as how it can be incorporated into daily classroom routines.
