      Less testing!
  • There is a risk that the mistakes of the past – both teaching to the test by schools and micro-management of the school system through the means of exams and league tables – may be repeated in the EBC.

  • But an over-reliance on summative assessment can distort the quality of education by becoming the dominant focus of school activity.

  • more stretching
  • judged by Ofsted
  • Move the focus of our exam system to 18 and develop clearly rigorous and stretching standards for both academic and vocational A-levels, with maths and English retained until 18 for both

  • should be commissioned to advise on the right balance of timing and the optimal mix between formative and summative assessment

Challenging the Model of 1:1 with BYOD | Edutopia - 87 views

    • Roland Gesthuizen

  •  
    This year my school district in Vermont ventured into a sort-of BYOD/1:1 hybrid program. We realized the importance of allowing our students access to technology to enhance their learning, but the infrastructure wasn't in place to tackle a traditional BYOD. .. Instead, we chose to be creative with our technology and professional development.
