Everybody seems to be talking about assessment for learning.  This book+CD shows you how to do it.

This book+CD explores the connection between thinking, learning and assessment in English. Using a highly creative approach it explains in detail how assessment, thinking and learning can be integrated in English lessons. More than 30 different assessment techniques are described, with each one illustrated (in A4 photocopiable format) for two different age ranges. Concise teachers’ notes for each technique explain:

• what the approach is
• how it can be used for assessment
• how can be managed in the classroom
• how it helps with learning

Ten years after exploring Concept Cartoons in mathematics for the first time, the new member of the Concept Cartoon family has arrived. The first venture into Concept Cartoons in mathematics was in 1998 with Janet Mock. Janet has used them since then in her work as a lecturer at Western Washington University, USA. The following year we worked with colleagues at Manchester Metropolitan University to help create Concept Cartoons for Maths on the Metro. This was a project similar to Science on the Underground, with mathematical Concept Cartoon posters appearing on the metro trains in Greater Manchester during the Year of Maths 2000.

Concept cartoons promote more effective teaching, learning and assessment in science.  They use cartoon-style drawings in which different characters offer their views.

Teachers find that they are highly motivating for pupils, that they provide opportunities for discussion and argument and that they are easy to use in the classroom as a part of normal teaching.
