Synopsis

This book supports trainee and newly qualified teachers in developing their understanding of assessment – one of the most difficult fields of professional practice – and specialises in Key Stages 1 and 2. Practical tasks enable teachers to rehearse a range of valuable skills, while readers will also consider the role of self-assessment, both in the appraisal of children′s learning and in setting targets for future teaching and learning. In addition, the book suggests methods for evaluating the range and purpose of different forms of record keeping.
