Shared Sharing Practice
Training support staff in assessment for learning
Points to consider
The staff in this school recognised that formative assessment could be more effective for pupils if learning support staff were trained in its use. Parents might also benefit from help in understanding why it can improve learning. How might you familiarise others, like support staff or parents, with formative assessment approaches to ensure that the benefits your pupils gain from it are not undermined by other factors?
The members of this ASG found a creative and popular way of organising in-service for SLAs. How might similar approaches be adopted in other contexts to gain maximum impact from stretched CPD budgets?
