Assessment for Learning

Oxford Teachers’ Academy

Assessment for Learning (AfL) is a practical classroom approach with a potentially positive impact on both learning and teaching. AfL looks beyond tests and grades. It involves establishing where learners currently are in their learning, helping them to identify where they want to get to, and finding out how best to get there. The ongoing process of closing the gap is formative. It involves both teachers and learners, and often involves exciting new roles for both.

 

This course sets out to introduce Assessment for Learning as a classroom tool, with the objective of helping participants find ways to apply it to their own classroom practice. The course will provide you with an opportunity to reflect on how you gather evidence about your students’ learning needs, before establishing a basic AfL framework for the classroom consisting of diagnostics, learning intentions and success criteria.
