Principles and Practice of Assessment in the Lifelong Learning Sector

by Ann Gravells

Principles and Practice of Assessment is a core text aimed at the mandatory unit of the CTLLS qualification for levels 3 and 4. The successful completion of this module contributes towards the 'Associate' teaching role outlined by Lifelong Learning UK. This book will help trainees successfully prepare for and complete this unit. It offers helpful activities and case studies which ensure readers understand the principles of assessment and can utilise assessment effectively in their learning and teaching. The material covered in this text is also highly relevant to those undertaking an NVQ in Learning and Development.
