#TestingTheWater: LKMco and Pearson publish final report on assessment
#TestingTheWater is Pearson and LKMco's groundbreaking new report, setting out clear steps for how assessment can underpin, rather than undermine, great classroom teaching.
The report draws together national polling data, expert interviews, think pieces from prominent educationalists, focus groups, and domestic and international case studies. It argues that teachers need greater support to maximise the value of assessment in their classrooms.
