Assessment for Learning Strategies

Every day, in every subject, teachers gather evidence to improve students’ learning. As noted by Anne Davies in Making Classroom Assessment Work, evidence is gathered through observations, conversations, and products, and it flows in and out of the learning experiences of the classroom.

ETFO’s Assessment for Learning series is designed to support members in gathering evidence of student learning through conversation and observation. The series explores how assessment for learning can take place through a variety of practices, with a focus on personal communication tasks that offer moments of connection between teachers and students, resulting in more personal, descriptive feedback.
