Assessment for learning

This unit of work incorporates assessment as an integral and essential component of good teaching and learning processes. Assessment for learning involves teachers planning how and when they will gather evidence of learning at the same time that they plan the work that students will do. It recognises the importance of assessment and promotes the active involvement of students in their own learning.

Outcomes are central to the decisions teachers make about the learning to be undertaken and the evidence of learning that needs to be collected. This evidence enables teachers to provide students with feedback on their learning and to determine how well students are achieving in relation to these outcomes.

Evidence of learning will assist teachers and students to decide whether they are ready for the next phase of learning or whether further learning experiences are needed to consolidate students' knowledge, skills and understanding.

Teachers may need to incorporate a range of activities to accommodate the different ways students learn and to cater for the range of levels of students' current knowledge, skills and understanding across the key learning areas.
