ASSESSMENT FOR LEARNING

Formative Assessment

Adapted from Learning Unlimited, Scotland

Key things Learned from the UK study tour

• Scotland, England and Wales are developing e-strategy/ e-portfolio to facilitate student on-going reflection. Clearly move away from just ‘records of achievement’ idea.

• SLP needs to merge with Big concepts of the reform( Learning to learn, Assessment for/ as learning)

• Validation and endorsement could be a problem, if SLP is promoted too high-stake. The concept of ‘student telling their own story’ (ie student autonomy/ownership) would be useful here. [shared with M. Galton, M. James, J. MacBeath]

• Teacher role in SLP is to give comments and facilitate self-regulated learning/ personal learning planning.

Key things Learned from the UK study tour (2)

• IB/ Middle Year Programme shines some light to the way how school-based OLE could be led in sch. Organization. Groups in cross-curricular themes, disciplines.

• Community service or the term, ‘Community &Service’; IB took a progressive route: ‘C&S’ then ‘CS’

• Collaboration with the same ‘service’ institutions is important• Some schools has a simple quality assurance system to monito

r service providers which provide ‘OLE’ programmes.• The big concept of “Extended School” (extended service to ad

ults, students and communities) DfES
