Teacher?s video training series extended
Student Assessment is the subject of the latest training programme to be
added to the Teaching Best Practice series from Echelon Learning. The
programme discusses issues concerning the implementation of initial,
formative and summative assessment.
Developed in association with Westminster Kingsway College, London, the
Edexcel-endorsed series provides interactive, intranet-based teaching and
learning resources for both new lecturers to build classroom skills and
for existing teachers as part of their continuous professional
development (CPD).
Latest users include Thames Valley University, College of North West
London and West Sussex County Council.
Using video footage of classroom scenarios, the programmes cover topics
such as student punctuality; classroom management; adapting tasks to
different level skills; integrating key skills into the curriculum;
information learning technology (ILT); and ?The Wow Factor?, a teacher
summary of what makes for the optimum learning experience.
Each programme is accompanied by a free downloadable workbook that
summarises the learning points covered.
The programmes are suited to team discussion, reflective practice,
independent and active learning, college planning and development days,
area learning days, centre days and cross-college days and by advanced
practitioners for one-to-one support.
Teaching Best Practice is available for purchase or license. Full details
