The Outcomes are at the heart of this module. These are the ideas that you, as facilitator, need to keep front and centre as you work through the activities with your colleagues, always connecting back to improving student learning.

After completing Module 3 teachers will be able to:

  • plan for assessment FOR learning purposes
  • audit their own assessment practices to see how well they provide timely feedback to students that assists student learning
  • recognise the types of written feedback teachers commonly give to students, and give better quality feedback
  • create additional assessment opportunities to gain evidence of student learning in order to improve it
  • ask better quality questions as a key strategy in assessment for learning to gain feedback that shapes their teaching
  • identify the data available for a single student and use it to inform planning for learning
  • plan and implement some classroom-based actions following this module.
