Unlocking Formative Assessment New Zealand Edition

This book is a handy guide for putting assessment strategies into practice, helping to engage and support children’s learning, boost progress, and build confidence and self-esteem.

It shows how formative assessment can become a natural part of effective classroom practice by focusing on planning, sharing learning goals, pupil self-evaluation, feedback, and target setting, all within the context of literacy, numeracy, and the New Zealand curriculum. It also explores using questioning as a teaching tool, methods to enhance pupils’ self-esteem, and approaches for tracking progress.
