A Return to Assessment for Learning: Back to the Future
Darr, Charles
set: Research Information for Teachers, n1 p46-48 2018
With the upcoming review of the National Certificates of Educational Achievement (NCEA) and the removal of National Standards, it is time to reconsider how we approach assessment. In this edition of Assessment News I argue that it is time to put assessment for learning (AfL) and the assessment-capable teacher and student "front and centre". We need to move from a preoccupation with summative assessment to an approach that promotes the powerful and agentic learning that is meant to be the heart of our national curriculum.
