5 out of 5 stars I love this book!   June 3, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I'm in my fourth year of secondary teaching and, well, I've always been interested in this self and peer assessment stuff, but never quite got it to work in the classroom as I thought it should. Shirley Clarke's been a big name in primary assessment for years. Having heard her name bandied around I thought that I would give this a go.

This book is terrific. It's easy to read and clearly expressed. It's practical in its focus and it not only explains what the principles are but offers really helpful advice about how to implement it over time. Assessment for Learning seems to come up so often, often in generalised, in-passing references, or unsatisfactory inset days.

This book will tell you how to do it properly and will help you improve your practice. It's brilliant.

I recently joined a school where 'assessment for learning' (or A4L, grrr) is the buzz term that is thrown around without any reference to what it is or how it works. So I decided to do some investigating...

Shirley Clarke's book is a well-structured, referenced, informative and inspiring read. It demonstrates that for A4L to work properly, classroom ethos must be modified, pupils must be trained and very common school dogma (always use the school grading system, distribute merits constantly etc) must be dropped.

This book has challenged and inspired me, and I can't wait to get back, roll up my sleeves and give her ideas a go.
