Assessment that Supports Whole Child Development

Together with our partners, we collected over 20 innovative and formative assessment practices. Our main question: how can we support the unfolding of every child’s unique potential through contextualised, individualised, participatory assessment processes that give learners a feeling of agency and self-efficacy?

Early school leaving can be tackled if each individual learner’s self-development is appreciated and supported instead of being frustrated by marking systems. This allows pupils to own their own learning experiences, as the learning process is not imposed from outside but rather experienced as an engaging learning pathway.

It is important to support human development in a world of accelerated technological changes, increased mobility, and an increasingly segregated society. Young people must experience a sense of purpose and accomplishments when confronted with unexpected changes. If this is learned early in life, more security will be felt, and they will be able to deal with an unpredictable future.
