Introduction

This unit will help you further develop your professional skills around planning for learning with consideration of assessment and feedback as part of that planning. In this unit you will examine approaches for planning, assessment, and feedback and establish connections to the theories underpinning them, as well as their applicability to your own professional practice.  You will also develop the skills to be assessment literate through critical consideration of technological advances in Education such as GenAI, data for the modification of teaching in response to student need, communicating your teaching decisions with stakeholders, and through reflection to evaluate your own teaching.
