Assessment, assessment, assessment

Vital in so many ways when used aprropriately and formatively. Here are a couple of thoughts following a brief conversation in passing, voiced by two Yr 13 students (18 years old)

'exams should take more than one form. We should have oral exams and debates. Give performances. We should be assessed on our ideas and our creativity'
