Funded by the Comino Foundation, the project is led by Dr Laura Kerslake at the Chartered College of Teaching and Professor Bill Lucas from the University of Winchester.
In the first phase of the project, we will systematically review the research evidence into different ways of carrying out assessment. We will hold a series of assessment-themed webinars to explore these ideas – keep a look out for the dates of these when they are advertised.
In the second phase of the project, we will create resources for teachers and leaders to provide evidence-informed guidance about assessment. This will include podcasts, blog posts and implementation guidance. The research reviews and resources will be published on this page when they are available.
We would like to carry out some case study research of schools and colleges that are carrying out new or different forms of assessment.
If you are interested in taking part, please contact Laura Kerslake at lkerslake@chartered.college.
