Fascinating discussions this morning at #WEdFEvents - focusing on the Future of Assessment. Waiting to speak a bit later on a panel considering digital assessment futures. Great input from @jo-annebaird.bsky.social @tom-richmond.com Charles Clarke MP and others. #AssessmentMatters @ioe.bsky.social

A fascinating speaker list for today's #WedFEvents session on the future of #assessment in England.
Good luck to the presenters @LouiseHayward3 @sarahknight @padcraven @SHSKHo6 @IanCastledine @AssessProgress @jillmduffy @rethinkassessmt

Q: Do any UK exam orgs (not just GQ/schools) have formal learner/ candidate representation on their board? Should this be a regulatory requirement? #WEdFEvents #eAssessment

I have little sympathy for organisations who complain about making provision for #eAssessment exam delivery. The #eAssessment tech works & has done for a long time. Don't wait for a class action by an Academy chain or group of motivated parents. Check out @eAssess #WEdFEvents

The practicalities of paper-based assessment are an absolute nightmare for the 10%-13% of learners who are disadvantaged by paper. #WEdFEvents #eAssessment

It's essential to reflect on exam reforms, but modern life demands we simultaneously keep changing + evolving. "No more changes" comes across as anachronistic. #wedfevents #eassessment

Chuckling at the handbags after today's #wedfevents #edtech session. All that energy, but school #eAssessment is still a (paper) outlier.

Examiners: if you want to earn your true worth, go + work for a regulator- they're struggling to hire assessment professionals. #WEdFEvents

Still no strategy in sight for dealing with rapidly escalating school exam appeals. #WEdFEvents

Speech by Ofqual's Glenys Stacey at #WEdFEvents sounds eerily similar to Isabel Nisbet's QCDA departure. Have we progressed in last 7 years?

Pity that SQA aren't presenting at #WEdFEvents today. The differing approach compared to England's regulation has never been more stark.

When will we pay examiners what they're worth? Still patronised + patted on the head. Dreadful way to treat professionals
