Summary

Education is at a pivotal moment - and it is clear that we need a more equitable system so all learners can succeed in this rapidly changing, globally connected world. This type of systemic change and transformation is often led by changes in assessment policies.

While 'assessment' has been a buzzword in education for decades, creating many uncertainties in the teaching environment, it is also an important process in the teaching and learning cycle. This book provides teachers with a comprehensive explanation of recommended learner assessment guidelines and principles which will help them design and implement sound, meaningful learner assessment strategies that support learning and teaching. In turn, these strategies will advance the goals of school curricula and the subject objectives of educational institutions.

This second edition contains:

-a new chapter on blended learning

-a strong focus on remote learning throughout the book in order to mirror recent changes in teaching and learning

-new text on leadership in assessment

-open book testing as an assessment technique

-updated examples of reporting and recording.
