Product Description

Product Description

This highly practical guide focuses on learning objectives, effective questioning and feedback as the key elements of formative assessment – assessment for learning – in the secondary classroom. Taking forward core themes developed in Unlocking Formative Assessment, Shirley Clarke shows how marking and feedback complete the ‘learning loop’ which starts with learning intentions and success criteria.

The ways in which pupils are told what is expected of them, how well they are doing, and how their efforts are appraised, lie at the heart of effective assessment for learning. Shirley Clarke explains first how to formulate, and communicate, clear learning intentions and the types of success criteria to which pupils can relate. She then explores the use of questioning as a tool for effective teaching, before looking at classroom interaction and how pupils respond to written, oral and ‘incidental’ feedback. Different approaches to marking, including self- and paired marking, are then considered as one aspect of feedback, which in turn can underpin pupil self-evaluation and target setting.

Down to earth and direct, and with examples from across the secondary curriculum, this book shows how formative assessment can bring a dramatic culture shift to teaching and learning in your own classroom.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes me look forward to the end of the summer holiday!, 6 Aug 2007
By coatgal (london) - See all my reviews
I recently joined a school where 'assessment for learning' (or A4L, grrr) is the buzz term that is thrown around without any reference to what it is or how it works. So I decided to do some investigating...

Shirley Clarke's book is a well-structured, referenced, informative and inspiring read. It demonstrates that for A4L to work properly, classroom ethos must be modified, pupils must be trained and very common school dogma (always use the school grading system, distribute merits constantly etc) must be dropped.

This book has challenged and inspired me, and I can't wait to get back, roll up my sleeves and give her ideas a go.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book!, 3 Jun 2008
I'm in my fourth year of secondary teaching and, well, I've always been interested in this self and peer assessment stuff, but never quite got it to work in the classroom as I thought it should. Shirley Clarke's been a big name in primary assessment for years. Having heard her name bandied around I thought that I would give this a go.

This book is terrific. It's easy to read and clearly expressed. It's practical in its focus and it not only explains what the principles are but offers really helpful advice about how to implement it over time. Assessment for Learning seems to come up so often, often in generalised, in-passing references, or unsatisfactory inset days.

This book will tell you how to do it properly and will help you improve your practice. It's brilliant.

4.0 out of 5 stars Maths Teacher's view, 22 April 2009
By S. Aitken - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is very good, although it relates better to assessment of worded answers than it does to calculations.
