Assessment for learning

Teachers work with both colleagues and learners to provide assessment activities that motivate learners and support their progression.  Teachers are committed to:

• designing and using assessment as a tool for learning and progression
• assessing the work of learners in a fair and equitable manner
• learner involvement and shared responsibility in the assessment process
• using feedback as a tool for learning and progression
• working within the systems and quality requirements of the organisation in relation to assessment and monitoring of learner progress.

(From LLUK’s New overarching professional standards for teachers, tutors and trainers in the lifelong learning sector.)

In this section you will find resources from the Teaching and Learning Programme that you can use to support initial teacher education and professional development in these areas.
