| Summary |
"This book explores target-setting from both the teacher's and pupil's viewpoint, and investigates the role of assessment in successful teaching and learning. It shows that it is possible to develop a whole-school target-setting policy, co-ordinating the use of targets for individual pupils, subject departments and teams, and whole-school improvement plans. In this way, targets can be used positively for the benefit of pupils, teachers and managers." "This book will be important reading for all teachers, headteachers, senior management teams, assessment co-ordinators and subject leaders in schools, and will also be of interest to governors, LEA advisors, and providers of initial teacher training."--BOOK JACKET |
