3 Parallel Workshops will follow the Guest Lecture

Applying and modelling appropriate pedagogical practices is critical for Teacher Educators to ‘better prepare’ student teachers to enter the world of teaching.

Research evidence indicates that the application of the Assessment for Learning (AfL) approach has the potential to improve learning by supporting teacher educators and student teachers to identify, and thereafter, address the specific learning needs of, respectively, their students and learners. However, this requires teacher educators to: (i) possess the necessary knowledge, skills and experience in the effective use of the AfL approach; and (ii) model and support students teachers to integrate the AfL approach into their pedagogical practices.

In this workshop, the facilitators will draw on latest research findings to introduce different AfL strategies and techniques that can be applied for supporting both Teacher Educators and Student Teachers to improve their pedagogical practices.

During the workshop participants will collaborate to share ideas as they reflect on their pedagogical experiences, review specific strategies and techniques, engage in practical exercises and evaluate different classroom scenarios.

At the end of the workshop, participants will gain a deeper understanding and/or practical skills regarding:

• different interpretations and applications of assessment;
• integration of key strategies and techniques into their pedagogical practices;
• modelling different AfL strategies and techniques to student
