3 Formative assessment ARG – 10 principles Inside the Black Box Many projects and reports Language changes- Assessment for Learning Reality – Assessment for Teaching

4 10 Principles for assessment based on ARG. 1 Assessment of any kind should ultimately improve learning. 2Assessment methods should enable progress in all important learning goals to be facilitated and reported. 3 Assessment procedures should include explicit processes to ensure that information is valid and is as reliable as necessary for its purpose. 4 Assessment should promote public understanding of learning goals relevant to students’ current and future lives. 5 Assessment of learning outcomes should be treated as approximations, subject to unavoidable errors. 6 Assessment should be part of a process of teaching that enables students to understand the aims of their learning and how the quality of their achievement will be judged. 7 Assessment methods should promote the active engagement of students in their learning and its assessment. 8 Assessment should enable and motivate students to show what they can do. 9 Assessment should combine information of different kinds, including students’ self-assessments, to inform decisions about students’ learning and achievements. 10 Assessment methods should meet standards that reflect a broad consensus on quality at all levels from classroom practice to national policy.
