Formative Action: From Assessment to Action

Discover why schools worldwide are moving away from traditional assessment in favour of the Dutch ‘Formative Action’ model.

Formative Action aligns closely with the Teaching WalkThrus approach to instructional coaching and professional learning. Valentina collaborates with WalkThrus on the design and delivery of sessions that explore how formative action and WalkThrus can be meaningfully combined in classroom practice and school-wide improvement.

Who should attend?

This workshop is designed for teachers, curriculum leaders, instructional coaches, learning support teams, and senior leaders (e.g. heads of department, deputy heads, assessment leads) — anyone who shapes teaching, learning, or curriculum development.
