Assessment for Learning

For assessment for learning to work, the classroom atmosphere must be one in which the
student feels respected and the teacher’s role is one as a collaborator. The classroom culture
should exemplify a non-threatening culture distinguished by a sense of trust between
teachers and students, respect, appreciation of differences, and transparency in the learning
objectives. Ideally, all members of the class understand that learning is a collaborative

partnership and they work together to see that all continuously learn.
