FEATURING INTERNATIONAL EXPERT

DYLAN WILIAM

Dylan Wiliam is one of the world's foremost education authorities. With over 35 years of experience in education, he has helped to successfully implement classroom formative assessment in thousands of schools globally.

As the former Deputy Director of the Institute of Education (London), Dylan has pioneered many of the formative assessment techniques now used in classrooms worldwide. His groundbreaking research has reshaped our understanding of how to improve teaching effectiveness and student learning outcomes.

📋 Masterclass Overview

Evidence-Based Approach

There is now a large and growing evidence base that helping teachers develop their use of minute-to-minute and day-by-day assessment is one of, if not the most, powerful ways to improve student learning.

However, adopting formative assessment, or assessment for learning as it is sometimes called, involves far more than adding a few "quick fixes" to teachers' classroom repertoires.

Shifting Focus

It involves a fundamental shift in focus, from what the teacher is putting into the process to what the students are getting out of it. In this interactive workshop, participants will explore practical techniques that can be implemented immediately in any classroom.

Building Professional Development

The day will conclude with detailed guidance on how to set up and sustain a school-based professional development program that will support all teachers in developing their formative assessment practice.

🧠 What You'll Learn

  • What formative assessment is (and isn't) - understanding the fundamental principles that drive effective classroom assessment
  • Practical techniques for eliciting evidence - how to create more "teachable moments" and develop effective diagnostic questions
  • Providing feedback that moves learning forward - discover why some feedback actually lowers achievement and how to ensure yours doesn't
  • The learner's role in formative assessment - techniques for increasing student involvement in their own learning
  • Building teacher learning communities - how to support sustainable, school-based professional development
