Embedding Formative Assessment with Teacher Learning Communities by Emeritus Professor Dylan Wiliam is a highly interactive one-day conference.
There is now a large and growing body of evidence supporting teachers in their development of formative classroom assessment as the most cost-effective way of raising student achievement. Participants will also learn about the key strategies and practical formative assessment techniques. They will also find out how teachers can support each other in their development of formative assessment through the use of school-based, teacher-led learning communities.
