From Principle to Practice: Evidence-Informed Leadership Chapter Deep-Dive (Assessment)
Do you struggle to find time to prioritise your professional development?
The From Principle to Practice series from the Chartered College of Teaching aims to support career-long development for all teachers, leaders and mentors. These short, useful and research-packed guides draw on the professional principles that underpin all pathways to Chartered Status, a professional accreditation that recognises the knowledge, skills and behaviours of highly accomplished educators.
The first book, Evidence-informed Leadership, is the essential companion for busy school leaders seeking to continually develop their leadership practices in line with the dynamic needs of their schools and staff.
This first book aims to support senior leaders, headteachers and those working in leadership roles across multiple schools. The book is divided into two parts: Professional knowledge, including chapters on pedagogy, curriculum and assessment; and Professional practice, including chapters on inclusive culture, supporting systems and school development. This book is published by Hachette Learning.
Join us as we dig deeper into some of the key principles behind the book. This first event in a series of chapter deep-dives will explore the following chapter: Purposeful assessment. We will be talking to the author of this chapter, Corinne Settle, and Claire Badger, who wrote a supporting case study on Building a shared understanding of assessment with parents and students. The discussion will cover, but not be limited to:
- The importance of building teacher expertise around formative assessment
- The importance of teacher, and leader, assessment literacy e.g. drawing valid inferences from assessments
- How to utilise assessment purposefully
- Cautions around high stakes accountability.
