Join acclaimed and respected researcher Dr. Lorna Earl for a timely and critical discussion about assessment for learning! Lorna argues that, in order to lead to learning, assessment must dig deep. Far from being simple and prescribed, it is a complex tool used not merely to situate a student within the pack, but to inform teaching and learning…. every minute, hour, month and year. Furthermore, if teachers teach to the test, the test had better be entrenched in curriculum, so much so that the test and teaching are inextricably entwined.

Lorna’s writings, and her work as an OISE professor and researcher in school boards throughout Canada, Europe, Australia and the UK illustrate her strong conviction that assessment for the purpose has important consequences for students and parents. The caveat for educators? We need to differentiate the purposes for assessment between sifting and sorting and assessment for learning! Bring your leadership team!
