Reflect critically on the core themes discussed in the literature and in class discussions and to devise a learning plan for your continuing professional development on assessment. This will involve several steps:

1. Identify a current assessment practice at an institutional or learning event level with which you are or have been involved; or would like to know more about. Use this as a concrete example to help you make focused recommendations and discussions. The practice itself is not the subject of the assessment task.

2. Draw on at least four of the following conceptual resources from the subject and readings to help you develop your critical reflection, and rationale for your learning plan. *You should define the concepts you use and draw on the literature to explain why you think these are significant for assessing learning in your context and for your development. These concepts could include:
€¢ Your current assessment epistemology
€¢ Assessment as a social practice
€¢ Assessment and communities of practice
€¢ Models of learning
€¢ Assessment strategies
€¢ Assessment for learning, of learning and as learning
€¢ Formative assessment
€¢ Assessment judgment
€¢ Assessment ethics
€¢ Assessment equality
€¢ Assessment subjectivity

3. Interview at least one key stakeholder €“another teacher, learner or assessment manager €“ involved in the assessment practice to ask them what they think makes an effective assessor, using ideas from the subject to scope your questions.

4. Devise a practicable action plan of steps to enhance your own assessment practice. *Show how this action plan is informed by reading and your interview. Explain why these steps are priorities for you. *Identify how you can get practical support or resources to meet these development priorities.The bulk of the plan can go in an appendix as it is the discussion of the plan and its relation to readings that is most important for assessment purposes.
