The first of these, focusing on effective approaches to assessment in cognitively challenging classrooms, has now launched and is available for NACE members to download for free through our website (login required).

We are often asked for recommended reading ideas so we will now make it a feature of our monthly newsfeeds.

A great place to start is ‘Teaching to the Top’ by Megan Mansworth. It draws together some key research on aiming high in your teaching and fits well with the NACE philosophy of cognitive challenge for all. She writes mainly from a secondary viewpoint, with many English examples, but there is enough in here for primary colleagues as well. A good summary of current thought on high expectations.
