Self-Assessment Toolkits for Schools and Early Years

Adapting principles to one’s own context

These toolkits are designed to help schools, early years establishments and their teaching staff to determine how well they have incorporated the principles of Assessment is for Learning into their practice. They link the 10 key features of AifL to quality indicators relevant to each context, and offer some thoughts and resources to help develop AifL practice.
