Observations on the National Assessment for Learning Programme (2010-2018) Skills development in networks
In 2010 the Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training launched the four-year Assessment for Learning programme in order to develop assessment practices and cultures that are more conducive to learning. The programme was renewed for a second period in 2014–2018 in response to White Paper 20 (2012–2013) “On the right path”. Development of competence in respect of assessment for learning and learning networks as a method has been central to the programme. The target groups are local school authorities representing a selection of schools, adult education institutions, the educational psychology service and vocational training establishments. Free schools have also participated. The purpose of this report is to present the knowledge that has been accumulated from the programme (2010–2018) and to document what has been achieved. The report also provides an insight into the process of changing assessment practices. Experiences and knowledge from the programme can be valuable in future skills development processes and other initiatives both in relation to assessment and in other areas.
