Teacher assessment, AoL, Summative, AfL

Description: Formal way of sharing assessment with the pupils. Not to be used on its own, but in conjunction with other assessment strategies that are already in place. Objective: It should allow teachers to share with the pupil the marks for effort, their portfolio and product, whilst also communicating a target for further improvement. Expectations: Share assessment strategies with the pupils and promote their participation in Assessment for Learning. Hints: Use it in conjunction with other assessment, mark their folio as a whole or as separate tasks. The mark they achieve at the end is an overall grade, similar to what they would be given for GCSE coursework. This allows pupils to identify each task as having relative and equal importance.
