This interactive CPD package uses a combination of short videos and interactive activities to explore a range of secondary Assessment for Learning (AfL) strategies. The e-learning package begins with a review of the current use of assessment for learning strategies, and an exploration of how to develop new techniques in the classroom. Key strategies to develop questioning and effective dialogue in the classroom are also explored, and the benefits of using different techniques on students, are considered. There is also a reflection on the importance of on-going assessments made by teachers, and some examples of some innovative games that allow a teacher to assess their pupils' understanding at KS3 and KS4. Finally, the CPD package ends with an exploration of the importance of using peer and self-assessment to help students become more independent learners, and techniques to develop this in the classroom.
