Assessment for Learning

Assessment for Learning

Assessment for learning (AFL) is an approach to teaching and learning that creates feedback which is then used to improve students’ performance. Students become more involved in the learning process and from this gain confidence in what they are expected to learn and to what standard.

AfL focuses on both the teacher and student understanding three key things:

1. Where the learner is going? Sharing the aims of a lesson and success criteria helps learners to see what they are aiming for and what they need to do to achieve those aims.

2. Where the learner is now? Techniques such as effective questioning will help teachers to gauge what individuals and groups have learnt during a lesson, generating evidence of learning that both teacher and students can make use of.

3. How can the learner get there? Teachers use this evidence of learning to inform choices about what they will do next with a class or individual students. Learners can use this evidence to make decisions about their learning, such as how to spend their independent study time.
