This book provides a critical overview of assessment, taking an
evidence-based approach, with balanced and reflective consideration
given to arguments around various approaches to assessment in
schools. It offers practical advice on how to implement such
evidence-based models and helps with reflectively evaluating their
success. Evidence-based teaching is fast becoming a new orthodoxy.
There are many strong voices, including policy voices, advocating
its adoption. Understanding the underlying principles allows you to
better evaluate the benefits of different approaches to evidence
based teaching and how they relate to your own school context.
What do you really know about how children learn? How helpful are
different types of assessment and what do the results mean? Is
homework necessary and how you can you encourage your child at
home? Will ability groups and setting help your child achieve more?
How do you choose the right school to suit your child? The
government and the media have a lot to say about education, but
what is the evidence behind these debates? This book walks you
through all the most important issues in education, comparing
commonly-held beliefs with simple summaries of the evidence,
providing you with clear, jargon-free information. It covers topics
including school choice, testing and assessment, homework and
revision, primary- and secondary-specific topics, stress and mental
health, and special needs. Most importantly it ensures you will be
able to ask schools the right questions, interact positively with
teachers and effectively support your child throughout their
education. "Chris & Stuart have written a parent's guide that
is jam packed with practical advice, research and informative
summaries that any parent can use to support their child to succeed
at school. It's organised so you can easily dip in and out when
looking for information and guidance, and gives answers to
questions that parents may have about their child's education. I
recommend this book to all parents & guardians that want to
work alongside their child's school to get the best out of their
time there." Dawn Cox, Teacher and Blogger
