Meaningful change in educational assessment starts with two things: big ideas about what is needed and the small steps that teachers and leaders can take to bring about this meaningful change. In this webinar, Professor Bill Lucas will be in conversation with Dr Laura Kerslake. They will discuss possibilities for new or alternative forms of assessment that help all learners to thrive. Starting with the big ideas about the next generation of assessment, they will then offer practical suggestions that teachers and leaders can implement in their settings. These will be based on Bill and Laura’s extensive experience in areas such as creative thinking, inquiry learning and oracy, as well as other forms of assessment.
This webinar is suitable for leaders and teachers of learners of all ages. Following the webinar, attendees will receive the publication from the Next Generation Conference (February 2026) which has further links to resources and case studies of assessment practice.
