What is Assessment Lead Training?
Assessment Lead Training enables you and your staff to make your assessment approach more efficient, allowing teachers across departments and stages to make more reliable judgements about what pupils know, can do and need next.
By generating and using higher-quality information on pupil learning, and better integrating assessment with curriculum and pedagogy, your teaching will be more responsive to pupil needs.
The training will encourage you to re-think your approach to assessment, and support you to lead improvement.

What are the benefits?
The aim is to improve the efficiency of assessment as a tool to improve the quality of information that supports effective teaching and learning.
Assessment Lead Training provides a framework for improving a school’s in-house assessment approach, both formative and summative, and activates change on three levels:
Individual practitioners
- Understand why, when and how to assess
- Understand key concepts in assessment and assessment as pedagogy
- Use assessment more effectively to support curriculum planning and pedagogy
- Be able to design powerful formative questions and quizzes that can be used during teaching to identify pupil misconceptions and learner needs
- Design formative and summative assessments that are demonstrably reliable in supporting curriculum planning and tracking progress
Within a department or phase
- Structured collaboration, driven and supported by trained Assessment Leads to link curriculum and pedagogy through effective use of assessment
- Improve reliability of judgements in both formative and summative approaches
- Build a bank of powerful formative questions for diagnostic use when planning schemes of work
Across the institution
- In-house support for teachers’ development in assessment practice
- A replicable model for activating change with Assessment Leads modelling good practice – taking on the role of ‘expert practitioner’

The Assessment Lead Programme was easily one of the most difficult courses I have been on. However, I can tell you with 100% certainty that it has been the best. Thank you to the entire Evidence Based Education team, for your relentless drive towards revolutionising CPD and your work in leading the quest for evidence-based practice in education. Awesome.
