As teachers, we know that assessment is a critical part of education. In most cases, teachers feel comfortable assessing learners using tests and exams, but often feel less confident when it comes to assessing the learning process in itself or employing formative assessment tools. It is also important for teachers to evaluate social-emotional development in their students and to provide them with guidance on how to build on their strengths and value their progress, but how can we assess these strengths? In this session we will look at the basics of formative assessment and will investigate different ways of supporting learning through the use of distinct resources and techniques. Come along and find out ways to track learners' progress and build motivation through effective formative assessment.
