While this ExpertTrack is intended for math and science teachers, teachers of other subjects may find the ideas transferable to their own subject.
This CPD ExpertTrack for teachers will allow you to integrate assessment for learning in your classroom. The approaches in this series of courses offer a path to becoming a more responsive teacher in science and mathematics. Upon completion, you will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to assess student understanding, clarify your goals, and progress your learning.
ExpertTrack is co-authored by experienced educators and leading researchers in the field; Professor Dylan Wiliam, Professor Chris Harrison, and Dr. Andrea Mapplebeck, in association with STEM Learning.
