💫When formative assessment is effective, teachers gather information on pupil learning to decide on their next steps
💫 We want every ECT to feel confident in meeting the needs of all their pupils

💛We love to hear feedback from our delegates
💛'I'm going to challenge students more deeply with questioning. Planning scaffolding for questioning.
Planning non-examples which are similar to the example. Combine open & closed questioning'
