About this publication
Who’s it for? This booklet is for those delivering post-16
citizenship education, in particular the citizenship
coordinator.
What’s it about? The booklet contains staff development materials
about assessment. There are 12 practical activities,
which aim to:
s clarify the terms used in the practice of
assessment
s help staff become familiar with the range of
strategies that can be used
s provide examples of assessment tools
s ensure that assessment of citizenship is carried
out effectively
s encourage the involvement of learners in the
assessment process.
What’s it for? The activities are designed to be included in a staff
development event, facilitated by either the
citizenship coordinator or an external trainer.
The activities are designed to encourage discussion
and debate. The methods suggested are active and
experimental, requiring participants to engage in
the kinds of activities they would use in their own
citizenship classrooms. It is not necessary to work
through the pack, an activity can be selected when
it fits with staff training needs.
