This document discusses Assessment for Learning (AfL) and formative assessment strategies that teachers can use to evaluate student understanding and guide instruction. It outlines the key principles of AfL, including sharing learning goals, using success criteria, and self and peer assessment. Formative assessment is described as an ongoing process to inform teaching through methods like observations, conversations, and student work samples. The document provides examples of formative assessment strategies teachers can implement, such as thumbs up voting, self-assessment checklists, and identifying next steps. Teachers are tasked to try using one of these strategies in their own classroom and reflect on how it impacted their planning and instruction.
