Experiences of summative teacher assessment in the UK

Last updated on: 08/04/2008

This review seeks to explore experiences of summative teacher assessment in the UK and identifies, for each of the teacher assessment models, any contexts for which they seem particularly suited or unsuited. The report is set against the background of a statement from the Working Group on 14-19 Reform that seeks to promote the increased use of teacher assessment, reinforcing the role of assessment based upon the professional judgement of teachers and trainers.
