ABSTRACT
This chapter provides some practical ideas for increasing Assessment for Learning (AfL) in teachers' classroom to help teacher evaluate and accelerate the learning of their pupils. Assessment for Learning should not be seen as a series of add-on ideas, but a fundamental way of thinking about and planning lessons. In order to decide what learning teachers intend to happen in the lesson they will also need to take into account what they have found out about the prior learning of the class, their interests and particular abilities. Once teachers have all this information they can include the pupils in knowing what the learning intentions are for the lesson. It is crucial when using the principles of AfL that every lesson has a deliberate learning intention and that the pupils know the lesson will have been planned with a learning intention in mind.
