SUMMARY:Formative Action: From Assessment to Action
DESCRIPTION:Schools and colleges across Europe and beyond are increasingly rethinking their approach to Formative Assessment and many are turning towards the rapidly growing Formative Action model. \nLed by internationally recognised educator and trainer Valentina Devid\, this highly practical workshop explores one of the most exciting developments currently shaping teaching\, learning and curriculum design in schools and colleges. A regular speaker at the Festival of Education and a much in-demand trainer across the Netherlands\, Valentina has worked with teachers\, middle leaders and senior leadership teams internationally to help organisations build more coherent\, curriculum-led approaches to learning. Her work is attracting significant attention because it responds directly to challenges many schools and colleges are currently facing: overloaded curricula\, disconnected assessment practices\, inconsistent feedback systems and growing pressure to improve learner outcomes in meaningful\, sustainable ways. \nFormative Action aligns closely with the WalkThrus approach to instructional coaching and professional learning. Valentina collaborates with WalkThrus on the design and delivery of sessions exploring how Formative Action and WalkThrus can work together effectively within classrooms\, departments and whole-organisation improvement strategies. \nFrom data to decisions. From activities to action. From assessment to pedagogy rooted in curriculum. \nMany schools and colleges have invested heavily in formative assessment strategies: mini whiteboards\, exit tickets\, low-stakes quizzes\, retrieval tasks and feedback protocols. In many organisations these approaches have become embedded within teaching and learning policies and quality assurance frameworks. Yet despite this investment\, a common challenge remains\, the curriculum itself often stays untouched. \nWhy? Because techniques alone rarely transform learning. \nToo often\, Formative Assessment becomes a collection exercise rather than a driver of instructional decision-making. Information is gathered\, but teaching doesn’t meaningfully adapt in response. Departments continue through schemes of work regardless of whether learners are genuinely secure in their understanding. \nFormative Action offers a different approach. \nRather than starting with activities or assessment tools\, it starts with curriculum intent and pedagogical purpose. It asks: \n\nWhat do learners need to master by the end of this unit\, topic or programme?\nWhere are they now\, really?\nWhat is the most meaningful next step and how should teaching respond?\n\n  \nThis shift is about much more than changing terminology. It is about helping schools and colleges create greater alignment between curriculum\, teaching\, assessment and feedback. \nWhen these elements work together coherently\, teachers and leaders can move away from reactive teaching towards a model built on foresight\, responsiveness and purposeful curriculum delivery. \nWhy are schools and colleges moving from Formative Assessment to Formative Action? \nFor many educators\, the term “Formative Assessment” has become increasingly diluted. It is often interpreted as informal testing\, feedback without grades\, or simply completing a “formative activity” before a summative assessment. While these practices may have value\, they do not always influence what happens next in the learning process. \nFormative Action reframes the process entirely. \nIt is not another initiative\, checklist or standalone strategy. It is a pedagogical design principle\, a short-cycle process where teachers and learners co-regulate learning through purposeful evidence gathering within a carefully sequenced curriculum framework. \nThis means: \n\nNo more feedback for the sake of feedback\nNo more assessment activities disconnected from curriculum goals\nNo more “formative” tasks that fail to influence future teaching\nGreater consistency between departments and teaching teams\nMore meaningful conversations around learner progress and curriculum planning\n\n  \nIt is this clarity and coherence that has made Formative Action both rigorous and sustainable\, and why it is rapidly gaining traction in schools and colleges internationally. \nWho should attend? \nThis workshop is designed for professionals working across schools\, sixth forms and colleges\, including: \n\nTeachers and classroom practitioners\nCurriculum and subject leaders\nHeads of department and faculty leads\nInstructional coaches and teaching & learning leads\nSEND and learning support teams\nAssistant principals\, deputy heads and senior leaders\nAssessment and quality improvement leads\n\n  \nWhether your organisation is reviewing assessment practice\, strengthening curriculum design\, developing instructional coaching\, or seeking greater consistency in teaching and learning\, this workshop will provide practical frameworks and immediately applicable strategies. \nWhat you will take away \nBy attending this session\, you will: \n\nGain a clear and practical understanding of the three strategies of Formative Action and when to use each purposefully\nExplore templates and examples grounded in real curriculum sequences from schools and colleges\nLearn how to align teaching\, feedback and curriculum\, even in content-heavy and exam-focused subjects\nStrengthen pedagogical decision-making across teams and departments\nUnderstand how Formative Action can work alongside instructional coaching models such as WalkThrus\nDevelop approaches that support sustainable school and college improvement\nHave dedicated time to bring your own curriculum challenges and implementation questions\nReceive ongoing support through a dedicated Formative Action space within EduScape CPD\, the professional learning community from EducationScape\n\n  \nThis is far more than another workshop on Formative Assessment techniques. It is an opportunity for schools and colleges to engage with a model that is quickly reshaping conversations around curriculum\, pedagogy and responsive teaching internationally. \nBook your place before the end of May to receive a 15% early booking discount. Group bookings for schools\, trusts and colleges are available. Contact the team via email to discuss organisational packages and team attendance.

SUMMARY:Books\, Knowledge and Attention: The Science of Reading
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is designed to support teachers and school leaders in deepening their understanding of the Science of Reading and\, crucially\, in turning that research into classroom practice that is intentional\, coherent\, and effective. While awareness of the Science of Reading has grown rapidly\, many educators are still grappling with how to apply the research in ways that genuinely improve student understanding. This session bridges that gap\, connecting evidence to pedagogy and curriculum so that reading instruction leads to meaningful\, lasting learning. \nThe session will be delivered by Doug Lemov and the team from Teach Like a Champion\, drawing on decades of classroom observation\, instructional design\, and professional learning with schools across the United States and internationally. The focus is on what works in real classrooms and how great teachers consistently help students read with insight\, confidence\, and purpose. \nThe workshop concentrates on the phase of reading development that begins once students have mastered letter–sound correspondence\, roughly from Grades 3 through 12\, when the primary challenge shifts from learning to read to reading to learn. Participants will explore what research reveals about how students build meaning from complex texts\, develop deep comprehension\, and transfer understanding across subjects\, including English language arts\, history\, and science. \nFacilitators will guide participants through key research on the role of fluency\, background knowledge\, vocabulary\, attention\, and writing in reading comprehension. We’ll examine how these elements work together\, why comprehension cannot be taught as a generic skill\, and how strong curriculum design ensures that all student\, regardless of background\, can access and succeed with challenging texts. Particular attention will be given to designing effective close reading tasks that promote productive struggle and help students think more deeply and independently about what they read. \nThroughout the workshop\, participants will study video examples from real classrooms\, analyze lesson plans grounded in research\, and engage in structured discussion and reflection. The emphasis is firmly on practice – what this looks like in real classrooms\, how it fits within existing curricula\, and how teachers and leaders can make immediate\, high-impact changes to instruction. \nWho should attend? \nThis workshop is suitable for educators working with students in Grades 3–12\, including: \n\nElementary\, middle\, and high school teachers responsible for reading\, English language arts\, and content-area literacy\nLiteracy coaches and instructional specialists supporting curriculum design and classroom practice\nSchool and district leaders seeking a research-aligned approach to improving reading comprehension outcomes\nCurriculum leaders and coaches responsible for selecting\, adapting\, or implementing high-quality instructional materials\n\n  \nWhether you are strengthening classroom instruction or leading literacy improvement across a school or district\, this workshop provides a shared understanding\, practical strategies\, and common language to support better reading outcomes at scale. \nSchools will also have the option to purchase the Implementation Toolkit\, which includes a full set of workshop materials\, alongside additional planning tools and training resources to support sustained\, school-wide implementation. \nCost and location \nThe workshop is priced at $230 per person\, which includes lunch and refreshments on the day. Invoices are available upon request. \nGroup bundles are available for schools and districts purchasing three or more places\, a great option for teams looking to build shared understanding and align practice. To find out more about group pricing\, please contact our team. \nWe’re also offering an enhanced professional learning package. For $285 per person\, attendees will receive: \n\nFull access to this workshop with Doug Lemov\, and\nA ticket to Washington\, D.C. Festival of Education\, taking place on October 3\n\n  \nThis combined package offers exceptional value and the opportunity to further develop your teaching practice through exposure to a wide range of leading educators\, ideas\, and classroom-tested strategies. Group bundles also apply for this offer. \nPeople booking before the 31 March 2026 will get a 15% discount. \nLocation \nThe training will take place at The British International School of Washington\, the new home of the Washington\, D.C. Festival of Education. The school provides a professional\, inspiring setting for high-quality learning and collaboration\, right in the heart of the D.C. education community.
