Assessing the outcomes of learning

The focus of this movie is assessing the outcomes of learning. It highlights some of the key features of excellent practice in schools including: interactive questioning focused on outcomes; sharing of both outcomes and the basis of teachers' judgements with learners; using a wide range of evidence in deciding next steps in learning; and timely feedback geared to improving learning.
