Assessment ‘of’ and ‘for’ learning occurs both formally and informally throughout the AIM and may include;

•pre-tests and post-assessment using Bloom’s Taxonomy and other models to differentiate questions, •products, including compulsory and choice tasks, •final presentation of new understandings, •ongoing feedback from teacher and peers throughout the unit of work, •teacher and student rubrics, including ‘Achiever’s Rubric’ , •self-assessments in learning and reflection logs with a focus on meta-cognition, and •analysing learning gains.

Pre-assessments are an essential part of the curriculum planning process. They require differentiation allowing students to present the depth of their understanding. Below is a link to //**SAMPLE**// PRE-ASSESSMENTS which could be used to collect data on prior knowledge. Other models such as Williams could be used to differentiate questions within pre-assessment. Eg. 'How is Antarctica like a desert?' or 'How is Earth like an apple?'

- individual, pair or small group interviews (guided reading session?) - audio recording of interviews - online discussions - pen and paper
 * // The implementation of pre-assessment may include: //**

//** Results from pre-assessments determine: **// - the starting point, - the knowledge and skills based lessons necessary at different levels (whole class, small group, individual) and - the compulsory tasks and the //**level of differentiation**// needed within each compulsory task.

//** Post-Assessment **//
