Educational experts Damian Cooper and Ken O'Connor present a lively and topical course on the necessity of rethinking assessment practices to help students learn and become more efficient. Participants will analyze their current practice and begin to implement improvements based on newly considered distinctions between assessments "FOR" learning as opposed to assessments "OF" learning. Strategies in the course include facilitating critical tasks for teachers, providing examples of excellence, promoting collaborative work and self-and-peer-assessment, and providing feedback that both informs students how to improve and allows them the time and space to do so. Interviews with teachers and in-classroom workshops illustrate the key points throughout the course and provide examples in actual practice.
