Critically analyse how formative assessment may support pupils’ learning. Support analysis with observations and evidence from school experiences. Formative assessment is the process of continually assessing and evaluating a pupil’s progress and educational needs and direction. (Coffey). Assessment is not restricted to any one method but rather encompasses all activities partaken within school where information learned is used to enhance teaching and learning.
Emerging and Existing Technologies and Children and Young people’s learning. 1 Introduction This report will explore the various methods in which emerging and existing forms of communication through ICT can be used to enhance learning across the curriculum. For this assignment I am going to evaluate the outcomes for using computers and interactive whiteboards in Primary schools. I currently work with children aged five and six that are using both these technologies as part of their everyday learning. So from using different resources and information I am hoping to find out ways in which they assist and encourage children to use different learning methods to foster an enjoyment of learning.

Often, the display should be the representation of the children’s own work. However, posters, published materials or good quality photographs can be used when the children’s own work is not available. The display should always have a clear title, a year group label and should have a short explanation of the task / learning objective. In order to enhance and enrich the displays, all the labels could be printed by school staff or children using their computer skills. It is also important that the class teacher uses a range of questions to draw attention to the display and encourage interaction.
These new realizations have been converted into the classrooms to better educate students. The correlation between cognition and learning is reliant, and learning cannot occur without the thought processes such as memory. Behaviors such as language cannot occur without the process of learning. References Huitt, W., & Hummel, J. (1997).
(APTS 3.7) • Implement differentiated strategies that address diverse learners. (APTS 3.8) • Adapt instruction based on student needs.

Is the knowledge credible and reliable to the student who is utilizing it? It would be most effective for students if a post-secondary information literacy component was one of many in a long program of instruction starting in primary school. The need for learning approaches that emphasize synthesis, and the central role of information in developing discipline-specific intellectual frameworks make the teaching of information literacy (Russell,
Inclusion and inclusive education are quite broad in definition, however with the support of this unit my professional understanding of inclusion has been formed by research and practices such as all student engagement, asking the question how? we can provide for diverse needs (Spandagou, Lecture 2), also Standard 1 of the Disability Education Standards (2005) identifies the need to know our students and how they learn, thus the need for personalised learning plans. The IPAA is an incredible framework, a reflective tool to assist teachers in achieving an inclusive approach to education, teaching and learning which helps to achieve standards 5 & 6 in the Disability Standards for Education (Florian, 2014, p.293). I agree with Foreman (2008) in his argument for inclusion as a concept which extends beyond the immediate environment and education to society itself. It is not ignorable the fact of discrimination and unsettlement of people around others with disability and lack of education about various disabilities and additional needs is concerning.

Not only is this beneficial to the public, private, and charter school system, but for the homeschooling children as well as children with learning disabilities. The I industry and it’s portability has paved the way to not only higher rate of learning and success, but higher test scores, grades and an educational
