Assessment & the Art of Lazy Teaching

  • I get it – Bloody brilliant conclusion.
  • It’s an ‘all you can eat’ buffet of assessment ideas.
  • It was like walking into a craft shop, such as Hobby Craft, and quite unexpectedly finding a whole range of new possibilities for creating in craft I’ve practiced for years.
  • Tutors are gardeners, encouraging growth and blooming.
  • Differentiated learning! Thank you!
  • The whole enchilada.
  • My brain is fizzing with new ideas!
  • Language is important, variety! Not serial summative assessments. I will be trying some of these and looking at current SOW to find opportunities to include some of the 50 Shades. I will have more confidence in OTLAs when assessing tutors AFL.
  • Thanks, amazing trainer, insightful lessons and brilliant resources.
  • Using games/competitions as a basis for learning.
  • Some really good assessment strategies that I can adapt. A study (research lesson) for next week – fab!
  • I will change lessons going forward to enable learners to be more engaged and develop skills.
  • Great! I will definitely be changing my learning outcomes to reflect the ‘next steps’.
  • New ideas for assessment as I previously focused too heavily on questioning.
  • Satisfying, refreshing and nutritious drink.
  • Education is a marathon, not a sprint.
  • New strategies. Stimulating and thought-provoking session.
  • “The horse has already bolted” – SOW. Good ideas!
  • Informative and thought-provoking. Thank you.
  • Using different ways of assessment to see how the learners are progressing.
  • Really informative, interesting and enjoyable and will be able to use strategies in teaching. Really, very useful. Great presenter – dynamic and interesting.
  • Really great training. I have learned a lot and will use a lot of these strategies moving forward.
  • The range of assessment methods, which may work with community learning with older people.
  • Getting learners to assess themselves more.
  • Hot (and steamy!)
  • Don’t be afraid to try new strategies.
  • Assessment strategies to use and take back to the team.
  • Lots of assessment strategies.
  • Fantastic course, lots to use in the future and adapt to/for my LLDD learners. Thank you.
  • Enlightening. Getting my teams to do more self and per assessment and be more independent in their learning.
  • Excellent training session. Plenty of good ideas to take away and apply.
  • Bloom’s taxonomy.
  • Lightbulb moment! For some techniques. Not all – some can be adapted to fit group profile and session.
  • Mobile phone documentaries for customer service (hospitality) and body language / verbal / non-verbal communication. Tutor work phones to be used.
  • Some of the assessment techniques talked about today, I have already used / or a similar version. The best techniques aren’t always planned but occur naturally.
  • Thinking about continuous assessments and how I would adapt for certain learners and courses. Liked exemplar and silent minute. Thanks for today!
  • Thank you – you have great knowledge. Interesting.
  • Moved further along a long road.
  • Trick questions – use this in evaluating events so everyone who’s involved is more critical of their work.
  • Excellent delivery from Tony Davis. Very engaging and interesting ideas. His enthusiasm for learning shone through.
  • Inspiring.

The Art of Using Target Setting

  • Extremely important and engaging.
  • Great target setting will allow for the person to bloom into a beautiful flower.
  • Like opening a small door from a dark room into a space flooded with a rainbow.
  • The session was inspirational. I will be using the resources to further understand how to use this in my context.
  • Amazing training session, Thank you. I feel energised and inspired.
  • A hummingbird escaping from a closed down shoe shop.
  • I will focus more on aspirations and using learners’ aspirations to get them motivated and recognise value. Introduce curiosity. Thought it was really interesting.
  • ‘Smiley’ (you smiled and I smiled as I learned/listened).
  • I will now work together with the learners to create targets which will excite & engage them which willin turn make them more ‘achievable’.
  • It was very engaging, interactive and enjoyable as well as useful to us all.
  • Intriguing. Ensure to tailor questions accordingly to the learners’ needs.
  • Inspiring. Ditch the SMART as it’s too restrictive. Less restrictive target settings.
  • Focus on motivating and inspiring learners. Take more input from learners encouraging them to create their own.
  • Highly motivational. To approach target setting differently, including the learner by setting the targets together.
  • I really enjoyed the session and very well delivered.
  • Aspirational management with learners. Empower them to set own targets.
  • Very helpful and informative. Food for thought.
  • Explore new resources to ensure engagement from all 3 Broad Experience Groups.
  • A breath of fresh air.
  • Think about how to make targets more exciting. Incorporate skill builder into activity plan to promote more ownership.
  • Really informative and enjoyable.
  • Relatable context and rapport with learners to understand aspirations.
  • I’m happy that making the learning journey inclusive is what we do well. Change some terminology and continue to improve inclusion.
  • Fantastic – thank you for taking time to speak to me – (toe to toe) – and differentiated terminology for us (me).
  • As clear as a bell! As fresh as a daisy!
  • I love the idea of the curiosity that we should engender in our learners and how to take/project manage their own destiny’s.
