About the webinar
The role of assessment in the learning process cannot be overemphasised. Incidentally, many teachers focus on summative assessments at the expense of formative assessments. As teachers, 'learning' is the primary objective of every lesson. AFL (Assessment for learning) needs to be prioritised more than AOL (Assessment of learning). With various AFL techniques, learners become grounded in knowledge and skills. AOL takes it rightful place as a check on learning. This webinar exposes participants to the learning opportunities in AFL and explore the strategies and techniques for effective AFL.
