Sat, April 26, 9:50 to 11:20am MDT (9:50 to 11:20am MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 108

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Effective teacher assessment practice can support student learning. However, a variety of factors shape teacher practice and student outcomes—such as factors associated with teachers, students, assessment tools, contexts, and systems. This international symposium will illuminate worldwide commonalities, variability, supports, and challenges arising from policy, assessment cultures, teacher professional development (TPD), teacher enactment, and student experiences of assessment purposed to support learning. Papers examine: (a) assessment for learning (AfL) and self-regulated learning in Chinese and English literature; (b) factors impacting Hong Kong teacher and student formative assessment (FA) uses; (c) FA TPD in Sweden; (d) AfL TPD in the Netherlands; (e) Singapore teachers’ practical reasoning around classroom assessment; and (f) AfL research-practice partnership tensions within the assessment cultures of Chile.
