What is Assessment for Learning (AFL)?
"Assessment for Learning" is fundamental to the development of independent learners. Through ‘the process of seeking and interpreting evidence for use by learners and their teachers to decide where the learners are in their learning, where they need to go and how best to get there’ (ARG 2002) assessment for learning encourages pupils to take ownership of their learning.
Definition: AfL is the process of seeking and interpreting evidence for use by learners and their teachers to decide what stage learners have reached in their learning, where they need to go and how best to get there.
It is also important that assessment is formative - in other words that it helps to inform future planning and teaching in order to meet pupil needs.
