This learning event is right for you if you are are wanting to build/enhance your strategies for collecting evidence of student learning to both target your teaching and provide relevant feedback to move learners forward.

Description                                       

This one day workshop will explore several frameworks for using feedback to move learning forward including those of Wiliam and Black, Hattie and Timperley, and Thomas Guskey. Feedback resources produced through a partnership between Evidence for Learning and AITSL will provide a lens for the day. Opportunities to explore different techniques used within primary and secondary settings will be provided. This workshop will also be shaped by gaining feedback from participants prior to the day.
