This book explains and exemplifies formative assessment in practice. Drawing on incidents and case studies from primary classrooms, it describes and analyses how teachers can use formative assessment to promote learning. It argues the case for formative assessment with reference to socio-cultural perspectives on learning, and examines this in the context of current assessment policy.
Themes addressed include: feedback, the power and roles of learners and teachers in formative assessment, self and peer assessment, and sharing success criteria with learners. Individual chapters explore formative assessment across the curriculum, including literacy, numeracy, art, science, and history. In addition there are two chapters on formative assessment in the early years.
Making Formative Assessment Work provides teachers, student teachers, teacher educators and researchers with a sophisticated grasp of issues in formative assessment and how they relate to the improvement of pupil learning.
