How's it going? Things are more and more hectic over here with only 2 weeks until the LanguagEd Day and only about a month till Christmas!

Today, I have a newsletter about one of the questions my colleagues and I have been asked most often by Italian teachers:
 

You know there are various forms of assessment, including formative, summative and diagnostic. And by now you probably also know that each lesson should ideally contain an element of assessment - even informal - that tells you to what extent learning has occurred.

It's no doubt a pressing matter and not just for the concorso: every single day, you as a teacher are asked to provide grades and assessment of students' learning by the ministry, the school, the parents...

But what our teachers want to know is: how do you do this in practice?

There are lots of ideas out there (like this video we made on self-assessment or this blog by Larry Ferlazzo).

But this time, we have asked our neuroscientist in charge André Hedlund to answer this burning question and he kindly obliged: in his LanguagEd Day session, he'll be talking about outcomes, assessment and how to assess.

If you're curious, why not take a look at a sneak peek at his slides... 👇
