Back in July, staff at my school each chose an educational book to read as part of our professional development.
I thought this was a great idea to contribute to our CPD, and I was keen to take part as I had enjoyed the research side of my PGCE.
I chose a book that was more to do with whole-school systems of assessment, rather than something subject-specific.
Nevertheless, it was an interesting read that illuminated areas that had been fairly unbeknownst to me.
It allowed me to question why schools choose to assess (both summative and formative) in particular ways. In addition, I could see how our school (and others that I experienced in prior placements) fit into the bigger picture of the education landscape.
