Description

This course offers a practical and reflective journey into Assessment for Learning (AFL), focusing on how to effectively identify and respond to your students’ learning needs. You’ll explore strategies for gathering meaningful evidence about student progress and examine how to use that information to support learning in real time.

A central theme of the course is the role of feedback—what makes it effective, and how to apply it in ways that genuinely enhance student understanding. Through relatable classroom examples, the course emphasizes a learner-centered approach that supports both students and teachers.

Whether you're new to AFL or looking to deepen your practice, this course provides fresh insights, practical tools, and opportunities to reflect on your own teaching context. It is designed to support educators across a wide range of settings.
