Assessment for Learning

After taking assessment in the arts with Dr.John Fawcett I must say that my eyes have really been opened, and my philosophy really changed. The assessment for learning movement is new, exciting, and just makes sense. I don't think I really realized how to properly assess and evaluate in a way that's fair for the learner, and really shows their achievement of the learning outcomes. I want to encourage anyone who hasn't been involved with the assessment for learning experience yet to get out there and read up about it. I've really changed my teaching style and philosophy I believe for the better, and have a clear understanding of how important assessment can be and how it can be a hugely negative or positive affect on our teaching.
