Description:

This book explains how formative assessment – assessment which engages with and helps define the appropriate next steps for the individual child – can be developed as an integral element of good classroom practice.  Shirley Clarke takes forward the core themes of planning, sharing learning intentions, pupil self-evaluation, feedback and target setting, introduced in her highly successful Targeting assessment in the Primary Classroom, and sets them in the context of literacy, numeracy and Curriculum 2000.  She then focuses on the use of questioning as a tool for effective teaching, ways of raising pupils’ self-esteem, and whole-school frameworks for monitoring progress. 

Each chapter distils research findings and classroom practice, giving numerous examples, strategies and practical solutions plus suggestions for school policies and INSET based on Feedback from hundreds of teachers.  Down to earth and direct, the book shows how formative assessment complements formal, summative assessment – and how it can bring a dramatic culture shift to teaching and learning in your own classroom.
