Will Orr Ewing on the future of school assessments and exams

The Exam House podcast were lucky enough to have Will Or Ewing discussing the possible future. Will has been a fan of new ways of assessments and schooling. Will runs Keystone tutors, a tutorial agency based in London.

Lots of points were covered. Including:

Reducing the amount of classroom marking with ‘no more marking’ and comparative judgement .Encouraging the idea of narration as an assessment tool

We now have technology that enhance human comparison and recording. So the candidate can take his or her body of works as an assessment exercise.

Will is interested to explore how higher quality exams and assessment can drive learning knowledge rather than just learning for the exam.

We all believe in getting closer to a higher quality exam experience can have a better way of committing to heart. Rather than learning for the exam sake.

The bigger the cliff edge the bigger the chance of teaching to exam rather than learning in the classical sense.

We hope you enjoy the new exam podcast.
