Formative assessment in English

This document provides a suggested outline for facilitating a group session where teachers can use the explicit instruction in maths video to reflect on their own practice. It could also provide guidance for activities for self-directed professional reflection.

These activities aim to:

• build knowledge of formative assessment (particularly checking for understanding) and of AERO’s guidance in this area
• assist in developing teaching strategies involving formative assessment and
• encourage teachers to embed formative assessment in their practice.
