Assessment for Learning: Canada in Conversation with the World

It has been a delight to read the more than 100 papers submitted by the international delegates who are convening in Fredericton, NB, from April 8 – 12, 2014. As I’ve been reading, I’ve also been posting my reflections, connections, and summaries. I’ve written about a variety of topics regarding assessment for learning. Here are the topics of postings you might want to explore:

Assessment Leadership

Reconsidering Instructional Sequence

Why co-constructing criteria is worth it!

Summative Grades

Quality, Moderation, Professional Judgment and Self-regulation

Clarity in the Classroom

Overall professional judgement in New Zealand

Making professional judgements

Reconceptualizing assessment

Self-regulation and co-regulation

AFL in Higher Education

Considering the role of feedback

Feedback in Mathematics, Science, and more

The Myth of the Expert Learner

Social Justice

Assessment for Purpose

Power of language to increase understanding and learning

Engagement and classroom observations

And lastly, I think everyone needs to know the work of Royce Sadler.

I look forward to reporting out to you the deliberations of our symposia. Remember you can keep in touch via:
