Description
Using Brightpath to support great formative assessment strategies
The Brightpath writing assessments have been designed to provide teachers with detailed information about their students’ progression in learning and what their students need to learn next.
Importantly, Brightpath has been designed to help teachers implement great formative assessment strategies.
In this session, Dr Sandy Heldsinger will review advice from leading academics as to what needs to be in place for formative assessment practices to lead to improved student learning. She will explain how Brightpath makes it easy to implement the academics’ advice and how teachers can get the most out of the Brightpath reports that support formative assessment.
