Self assessment tool - In order to plan effective professional learning around assessment, it is recommended that this tool be completed by staff. It acts as a guide to which professional learning modules and activities will be useful for particular groups of teachers. The tool supports teachers in the self assessment of their practices and knowledge. Individual teachers, groups of teachers who work together in a team or a whole school staff can undertake this self assessment process.
