Assessment for learning
• assessment can be based on a variety of information sources (e.g. portfolios, works in progress, teacher observation, conversation)
• verbal or written feedback to the student is primarily descriptive and emphasizes strengths, identifies challenges, and points to next steps in learning
• as teachers check on understanding they adjust their instruction to keep students on track
• grades or scores may not be given• occurs throughout the learning process, from the outset of
the course of study to the time of summative assessment

Traditional Reporting
• Based on one formal communication per term • Report or teacher/tutor consultation• Different for each year group• Different format for different purposes• Reports will have an overall attainment grade• Subject criteria • Constructive energy

Parent Consultation • Provide an opportunity for parents to discuss the progress
and learning of their children• Provide opportunities for parents to further understand the
work students are doing in class• Provide opportunities for parents to understand how
students are assessed. For example, with an example of a test or a piece of work with success criteria
• Result in an agreed understanding between the parent, teacher and student of the student’s current achievement and the outcomes to be achieved before the next meeting/report/term
• Conclude with an agreement on how the student’s future progress will be supported by the teacher, parents and student
