Assessment for Learning - the SMART way

"Through a combination of Assessment for Learning such as peer on peer assessment, individualised target setting and using the quick reports as a formative tool, we can gain a real understanding of not only the class' weaknesses but also each individual student's needs. In turn we can provide a truly personalised approach to improving teaching and learning."

Jonathan Boyle, Deputy Head, Walsall Academy

You need to get a clear picture of where pupils are in their learning, what they need to do next and how best to get them to do this. Senteo gives you the evidence you need to do this by allowing you to involve each individual child and to assess them immediately.

During the lesson, you can ask questions, in a variety of formats, and get instant feedback for all to see. And when the lesson is over, Senteo gives you reports in a simple, clear format that help you and the class understand progress.

And as reports are electronic, you can share them across a year group or department, which makes the whole process of Assessment for Learning even simpler.

Senteo can also provide discreet feedback to individual pupils, straight to their handset, as you go through the lesson.

What's unusual about Senteo is that your whole class doesn't have to work on the same material, at the same speed. You simply prepare different activities and let your pupils work at their own pace and answer questions in whatever order they choose.
