Assessment and Management of Learning

This book offers advice for everyone involved in managing and implementing the National Curriculum at Key Stages one and two. It suggests how teachers might develop a school assessment policy, and in doing so, manage larning more effectively. The seven chapters represent a comprehensive "cycle of improvement". Chapter 1 describes the external pressures and influences on the school brought about by ERA. Chapter 2 focuses on what goes on in the classroom. Chaper 3 deals with the reasons for developing a schools assessment policy. The final four chapters answer the questions: how do teachers set about developing an assessment policy? How might they put it into practice? How do they check it is working? How do they keep it going?
