*Lastly record the assessment measures that you have used in your classroom to assess the student's progress eg do you give them a test/ask them questions and record how they have answered/give them homework and assess how well they have done it etc?

You will add to this inventory by completing another row at the beginning of each session on Assessment for Learning. Thus you can assess your own progress as the workshops proceed, and we can also see what you feel you are learning, purely for research purposes. (At CBS it will also be used to plan further sessions.) Please be honest about filling in your responses; this inventory will not be used to judge you.
By completing another row at the beginning of each session on Assessment for Learning you can assess your own progress as the workshops proceed. As well as adding assessment methods (e.g. Traffic Lights) you can also add any new learning on assessment that the workshop sessions have highlighted.

Reinforce that when Traffic Lights are displayed the teacher can see at a glance those students that need help.  There is little point in asking a student that you are standing next to to show you their Traffic Light (usless you are checking their understanding of what the colours mean) - you might as well just have a conversation about it.  The teacher may need to gently remind students to display theirs by saying something like "remember to display your Traffic Light', "has everyone displayed their Traffic Light", 'have a look around and make sure that everyone has displayed their Traffic Light" etc.
Reinforce that when Traffic Lights are displayed the teacher can see at a glance those students that need help.  The Traffic Lights can be used while students are engaged in a task to indicate their progress.  The teacher may need to gently remind students to display theirs by saying something like "remember to display your Traffic Light', "has everyone displayed their Traffic Light?", 'have a look around and make sure that everyone has displayed their Traffic Light" etc.  


If the number of participants is 10 or less, make a note of the Traffic Light colour of each participant on a flip chart. You can prepare the flip chart with the participants’ names listed on it, in advance.

There are 14 short points for participants to get their head around.  These could be divided up amongst the group, so one point each or one between two depending on the group size.  Participants should read and understand their point, perhaps coming up with an example to help clarify it to the rest of the group.  After allowing participants a few minutes to understand their point, ask them in turn to stand up and explain it to the rest of the group.  By the end of this activity the participants will have verbally presented the content in a way that should make the material easily accessible and easier to remember.
