Ep 35: Assessment part 3: Steering a Course in the Sea of Data

Brighter Thinking Pod

Welcome to the final part of this 3-part epic on assessment!

In part 1 we covered the importance of assessment, how teachers are constantly assessing in the classroom, and the principles of good assessment. In part 2 we looked at how you can set assessments up for success. In this episode, evocatively called ‘Steering a Course in the Sea of Data’, we’ll be digging into types of assessment data and how you can effectively use it.

Your host again is Senior Brand Marketing Executive and producer of the pod, Adam Steele. He is joined again by Simon Child, Head of Assessment Training at the Cambridge Assessment Network, and co-course Director for the Postgraduate Advanced Certificate in Educational Studies: Educational Assessment at the University of Cambridge. And Brooke Wyatt, Senior Manager, Assessment Training at the Cambridge Assessment Network.
