Inclusive Assessment and Feedback

This session focuses on inclusive assessment, explaining why fair and accessible assessment practices are essential for supporting diverse learners. You will explore different types of assessment that promote inclusion and examine how clear, transparent assessment criteria can support learner understanding and confidence. The session also looks closely at inclusive feedback, considering how feedback can motivate learners, support autonomy, and encourage progress. Practical examples will help you reflect on how assessment and feedback practices can either reduce or reinforce barriers to learning.

By the end of this session, you will:
• Understand the key principles of inclusive assessment and why they are essential for equitable learning.
• Identify and evaluate examples of assessment types that support diverse learners and promote accessibility.
• Develop clear, inclusive assessment criteria and recognise feedback practices that enhance learner engagement and inclusion.
