Black and Wiliam (Assessment for Learning)

Black and Wiliam’s "Assessment for Learning" emphasizes using ongoing assessments to support student understanding and improve teaching. Instead of just testing for grades, teachers gather real-time information about what students know and what needs clarification. This process helps tailor instruction, encourages student reflection, and promotes active learning. By continuously adjusting teaching based on feedback, learning becomes more effective and personalized. The approach fosters a supportive environment where assessments are tools for growth, leading to better engagement and achievement rather than just evaluation.
