QELi is delighted to partner with Emeritus Professor Dyan Wiliam to offer the ‘Formative Assessment’ Webinar.
There is now a large and growing evidence base that helping teachers develop their use of minute-to-minute and day-by-day assessment is one of—if not the—most powerful ways to improve student learning. However, adopting formative assessment involves far more than adding a few “quick fixes” to teachers’ classroom repertoires. It involves a fundamental shift in focus, from what the teacher is putting into the process to what the students are getting out of it. In this insightful webinar with Emeritus Professor Dylan Wiliam, participants will learn about the five key strategies and numerous practical techniques for implementing formative assessment.
