Assessment for Learning
Putting it into Practice

Based on a two-year project involving thirty-six teachers, this book contains a review of the research background and of the project itself. It contains chapters describing the practices which teachers found fruitful and the underlying ideas about learning that these developments illustrate.

Later chapters discuss the problems that teachers encountered when implementing the new practices in their classroom and give guidance for school management and LEAs about promoting and supporting the changes. This book offers valuable insights into assessment for learning as teachers describe in their own words how they turned the ideas into practical action in their schools.
