In this essay, you'll critically examine the broader social, theoretical and political contexts in which assessment practices reside. You'll demonstrate a deep understanding of how contextual features and curriculum frameworks impact assessment purpose, policy and procedure by comparing a range of assessment strategies. You'll demonstrate knowledge of the limitations and constraints involved, and an understanding of how these constraints impact implementation of assessment in different school contexts. You'll evaluate principles and strategies for reporting on students' achievements.
Write a 2000-word essay examining the role, practice and significance of assessment and reporting to students' learning. Your essay needs to explicitly answer the following three questions:
1. What are the broader contexts (social, theoretical and political) in which assessment practices reside?
2. What are the benefits and limitations of a range of assessment strategies?
3. What are the principles and strategies for reporting on student achievement?
Please refer to the criteria of evaluation to guide your writing. The depth and breadth of your critical analysis is of high importance. Arguments need to be effectively communicated and well supported. Your essay must draw on course materials and other academic literature to support your argument, using appropriate referencing (APA 6th Edition).
