In this policy update, hosted by Tom Middlehurst, Head of Policy and Public Affairs at SSAT, we take a closer look at how heads, principals, SLT and curriculum leaders might go about the process of teacher assessment and ranking exercises during May, ahead of the submission opening on 1 June. Tom is joined by Dylan Wiliam, author of our highly regarded Embedding Formative Assessment programme, and former teacher turned football-scout Chris Baker, whose blog many SSAT members have found helpful.
Unfortunately, there was a technical issue with the introductory section of the webinar where Tom outlined the assessment and ranking process and the principles behind it – however, an in-depth analysis is available to read.
