Achieving QTS Series
"This is an excellent text on assessment. It provides useful, practical advice, well supported by theory. There is nothing I dislike. Thank you for providing a key text for my module!" Lecturer, Leeds Metropolitan University.
This is a course which is four all years and forms of the BEd degree. The book is well written and accessible and I have no hesitation in directing my students to this book.
An essential text for student teachers.
Really useful and up to date. Very good examples. Do you have an electronic version and do you have a version aimed at secondary schools?
Like- layout of chapters- with clear objectives and practical tasks to consolidate learning. Dislikes- again here in Wales we have a different curriculum i.e. Foundation phase, and I would have liked to see links to that.
Very clear layout- helpful to signpost issues. Inclusion of 'practical tasks' are extremely helpful and give a range of good ideas for student activities.
A very practical and useful book which introduces a whole range of assessment practices. Unfortunately, it will be less useful from September 2012 when the QTS standards change.
A good basic coverage to support student teachers with one of the most feared elements of teaching; behaviour. Good examples of assessment. Easy to follow with reflective exercises.
A good source of knowledge and strategies for assessing children in different areas of the curriculum. Some very useful reflective tasks and practical examples throughout.
This book is going to be extremely useful in the next few weeks when students cover the assessment for learning unit. I have already recommended to other members of staff who found the ideas easily transferable to their subject areas
