By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

• Explain the difference between checking progress (formative assessment) and deciding achievement (summative assessment).

• Judge learner evidence against the right standards using simple quality checks.

• Choose the most suitable ways to assess different skills and knowledge areas.

What does a fair, consistent judgement of learning really look like in practice?

In this session, we’ll demystify the principles behind effective assessment and show how to apply them to everyday situations.

Through examples and shared discussion, we’ll look at how to check progress.
