How to measure real learning

 Focusing on learning outcomes

As teachers, we'd probably all agree that we go into the classroom with our teaching and learning objectives clear in our minds. But how often do we plan for, or consider learning outcomes?

A teaching or learning objective states what we want our students to learn, but it doesn't take into account how we expect our students to be able to demonstrate the effectiveness of this learning (the learning outcome).

Rooted in a competencies approach to effective teaching and learning, this session looks at how we can implement practical learning outcomes to reliably measure our pupils' learning.
