Developing assessment for learning with teacher learning communities Dylan Williams, Deputy Director of the Institute of Education, University of London (Click name for speaker's biography) In this presentation, Dylan Wiliam will outline the research evidence that shows why we need to raise achievement in mathematics and science, why investing in teachers is the answer, and why supporting teachers to make greater use of evidence about student achievement to adjust their instruction should be the focus of that investment. The presentation will also show that in order to make that investment effective, it will be necessary to adopt different models of teacher professional development than have been common in the past, namely school- and college-based teacher-led learning communities.
