Making Assessment Meaningful, Marking Manageable and Feedback Motivating

The words ‘assessment’, ‘feedback’, ‘target setting’ and ‘monitoring progress’ are some of the most common found in education. Yet these are also some of the areas in which we are less certain about the approaches we should take. Do we, for example, put ourselves in the learners' shoes and ask them what sort of feedback they would like, when they want it, and how? Are our students involved in target-setting and the assessment process? Evidence suggests that feedback is one of the most important skills we can use to support learning, but only if we get it right.
