Leading Assessment for Learning (in association with COBIS)

Karen Ardley Associates are delighted to offer this blended learning programme as part of the COBIS Online CPD Calendar for spring 2021.

There is a wealth of evidence to say the Assessment for Learning can have a significant impact on learning.

How do you know as a leader, that your students are reaping these benefits?

Recognising that Assessment for Learning is complex, this course supports leaders to frame a strategy for development which deepens teacher’s understanding of Assessment for Learning underpinned by an evaluative leadership approach to know the impact on teaching, learners and learning.

You will have the opportunity to create a compelling, evidence-based narrative of the intent, implementation and impact of Assessment for Learning in your school.

There are 4 sections in this course:

• Your approach to leading Assessment for Learning
• Intent and impact – linking vision to the difference to learners
• Intent and implementation – putting the vision into practice
• Impact, implementation and intent – connecting the evidence of success of the vision and next steps
