As part of the wide range of leadership and classroom practice programmes being delivered at KAA@Florimont we are delighted to be offering this popular classroom programme ‘Assessment for Learning’ face to face in Geneva this summer.

There is a wealth of evidence to say that Assessment for Learning/Reactive Teaching can significantly impact learning when implemented effectively.  This programme combines recent research findings with practical techniques focused on developing self-evaluative learners.

Participants will be engaged and inspired, leaving the programme with the confidence to implement effective strategies to ensure their children progress rapidly as successful learners.
