=‘The journey towards formative assessment practices.’ =

Welcome to my wiki. This wiki was developed for the following __two purposes:__ 1. To **demonstrate what I have done thus far** in working towards my Masters in School Leadership Action research project **in beginning the journey towards developing formative assessment practices** in schools. 2. To **facilitate the journey towards formative assessment practices** in the schools and networks in which I work, **through the provision of an online, up-to-date assessment resource**.

__My aim__ was to design a wiki that would: · Provide current assessment research, to **build the capacity of school leadership teams in making informed decisions** about developing school-wide assessment processes and practices, **based on current research** and literature. · Provide Leading Teachers/KLA leaders and teachers with professional reading on current literature (initially in Maths and English), to enable them to work towards **building a culture of professional reading as the basis for assessment, intervention and exemplary teaching and learning**. · **Provide** Leading teachers/KLA leaders and class teachers with easy access to **assessment resources and tools**, **equipping them to commence their own journey towards formative assessment practices**. · Provide school leaders and teachers with **examples of how assessment data can be presented and used with staff to inform teaching and learning.** (This includes a template for schools to use in presenting their own data).

__Future objectives__ to ensure the sustainability of this online learning space: · To ** continue ** ** to develop this wiki to be a relevant, collaborative online workspace ** for members to work together and ** build the capacity of staff towards meaningfully using formative assessment practices ** in their school. · Provide assessment team leaders and school data teams access to this wiki, enabling them to ** contribute samples, tools and resources they develop to promote formative assessment practices, and generate data-driven PLT conversations **.

Finally... Poll members regularly (using online surveys) and the discussion board, and ** use feedback to continually enhance the quality of this wiki space **. (see links below)
