"Lessons are differentiated by the students themselves from the very first minute"
"Teachers have struggled for a long time to effectively demonstrate progress over time. With Assessment Expert the problem is solved"
"I don’t worry about my students articulating what they are learning to observers anymore."
"Assessment Expert beautifully captures the learning journey with written feedback and measures of attainment generated automatically."
Students can set their own targets and self-start. With clear visibility of where they are now and what they need to achieve next within their bigger learning journey.
Students can indicate when they think they have met a target. Facilitating teachers in providing targeted interventions, and only when each student is ready.
Written feedback for individual students is generated based on their achievement to date. Outlining strengths and areas for development, suggesting future targets automatically.
Assessment that eliminates inconsistency between teachers by automatically calculating working-at grades from the evidence of targets achieved.
Students set targets which are automatically captured into a personal diary. Teachers can optionally record additional feedback and heat-maps provide evidence of progress over time in a stunningly visually way.
A system that easily adapts to your school context and the ever changing models of assessment in schools. Perfectly adapted to life after levels and ready for whatever comes next.

I've been in the IT industry for 20 years in various sectors from family run small businesses through to the NHS and software houses. I have a degree in aquatic biology from Aberystwyth university but as it turned out, I was better at coding algorithms than exploring the life cycles of various aquatic fauna. I also work as a Senior Software Engineer for a leading educational charity in Gloucestershire.
