1. AfL – The big idea
Learners and tutors
Using evidence of learning
To adapt teaching and learning
To meet immediate learning needs
Minute-to-minute and day-by-day
Formative assessment:Assessment for learning
• Informs in the moment decision making
• Emphasises learner thinking and learner contributions
• Occurs in authentic learning situations
• Possibly the most effective assessment form available
What do we need to know about each
learner?
You need to know:
•Can learners read and pronounce all the words in the workbooks?
•Do learners know how the workbooks are structured? Contents page, glossary, index etc.
•Do they know what ALL of the words mean? Do they know how to find out?
•How do learners approach the text? Do they read strategically?
•Do they know how texts work? How the structure can be used to increase comprehension?
You may need to know:
•Can learners use measuring tapes?
•Can they measure and read the
measure in m, cm, mm?
•Do they know that 1.2 m is equal to 120 cm and 1200mm?
•Do they know the size of a metre, cm, mm, tenth of a millimetre?
•Do they know what an area is?
Four components of formative assessment
• Clarifying and understanding learning intentions
• Engineering activities in order to elicit evidence of learning
• Activating learners as instructional resources for each other
• Providing feedback that moves learners forward
Key strategies of AfL
