The Assessment Lead Programme’s aim is to maximise assessment for learning by enhancing formative assessment and summative assessment strategies.

The programme provides a framework for improving your assessment approach through evidence-based training, practical tools and resources and guidance for implementation.

This award-winning online course is broken down into four modules. You will learn through a combination of theory, design, regular collaboration and practical application sustained over time.

Who is it for?

Any English-medium primary or secondary school, FE college or academy that is committed to enhancing their assessment practice sustained over one academic year.

For the programme to have the desired impact, we strongly advise that schools enrol the senior leader responsible for assessment, plus one middle leader such as a head of department or phase. We insist on a minimum of two places – because professional development has more impact when colleagues collaborate and support each other!

What’s the format?

The programme is designed to be as flexible as possible, but structured and well-supported. Delivered entirely online, over three terms (c. 40 hours) you will:

learn and apply the tools and resources to guide, support and implement change
enjoy structured collaboration and support, with both your colleague(s) and other Assessment Leads on our online discussion forums
apply your learning within your own context with practice opportunities to scaffold learning
work towards completing the course by developing and implementing enhanced assessment strategies and practices
