Assessment in Classroom Practice(How to teach)“Assessment in Junior Cycle English rests upon the provision for learners of opportunities to set clear goals and targets in their learning and upon the quality of the focused feedback they get in support of their learning. Providing focused feedback on their learning to students is a critical component of high-quality assessment and a key factor in building students’ capacity to manage their own learning and their motivation to stick with a complex task or problem. Assessment is most effective when it moves beyond marks and grades to provide detailed feedback that focuses not just on how the student has done in the past but on the next steps for further learning…..Formative Assessment” P 15 “Junior Cycle English Subject Specification”

3. Assessment for Learning and the Subject SpecificationThis Formative approach to Assessment is a common theme in other JC2 documents issued by the NCCA…
The NCCA’s Assessment for Learning techniques are suited to putting this approach into practice.
Their introduction to AFL is called “Assessment is more than Just Exams”
