Effective assessment for learning
Teachers use purposeful questioning to effectively assess and support pupils' learning in real-time. Older pupils benefit from strategies, such as using a visualiser and co-constructed success criteria. The use of these strategies enhances feedback by allowing pupils to compare each other’s work against agreed criteria and by helping them to understand how to improve through clear expectations and examples of success. This significantly enhances their progress and fosters their development as independent and reflective learners.
