Description

Learning outcomes

  • You will understand the difference between formative and summative assessment
  • The purpose and characteristics of AfL will be explained, as will the role of the support practitioner in assessing learner progress
  • You will be able to identify opportunities for assessment and make judgements about how well learner's are doing and how much they are participating in activities
  • You will be able to set personalised learning goals with learners and engage them in their learning journey

Advantages of this course

  • Learning guided by assessment allows the learning to match the needs, interests, and developing skills of the learner. It allows the teacher to plan interesting and engaging lessons and activities. This in turn will encourage the learner to become involved in the development of their own learning and target setting, and improve motivation and achievement. Those supporting teachers and learners are an integral part of the assessment process – your contributions to the process are a key part of the assessment cycle. This course will help you understand your role and contribution to AfL.
  • Additional activities encourage you to reflect on your learning
  • There is also suggested extended reading that gives both practical information and links to websites to expand knowledge

On successful completion of this course, you will receive a Laser e-Certificate (included in the course price). You will also have the option of purchasing a CACHE Endorsed e-Certificate for an additional £4.99.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
