What does Graham Nuttall say about observing teaching?
(‘The Hidden Lives of Learners’)
Graham Nuttall:
“Research shows that faith in being able to judge the quality of teaching by observing is largely misplaced … The same teachers working with different students may perform quite differently.”

Royce Sadler, ‘Formative Assessment and the Design of Instructional Systems’
‘The indispensable conditions for improvement are that the student comes to hold a concept of quality roughly similar to that held by the teacher, is able to monitor continuously the quality of what is being produced during the act of production itself, and has a repertoire of alternative moves or strategies from which to draw at any given point. In other words, students have to be able to regulate what they are doing during the doing of it.”

Wonderful quote from Ron Berger in ‘An Ethic of Excellence’ on assessment?
Is this..?
Do I feel…?
Does it…?
“Most discussions of assessment start in the wrong place. The most important assessment that goes on in a school isn’t done to students but goes on inside students. Every student walks around with a picture of what is acceptable, what is good enough. Each time he works on something he looks at it and assesses it. Is this good enough? Do I feel comfortable handing this in? Does it meet my standards? Changing assessment at this level should be the most important assessment goal of every school. How do we get inside students’ heads and turn up the knob that regulates quality and effort.”
