If I’d lived 300 years ago I would have been branded a witch and killed on the ducking stool.
What is the most exciting thing in the future of assessment?
That point we’ll get to when the teaching and assessment are indistinguishable.
What most annoys you about the assessment industry?
Like the whole of education, we go in cycles: rote learning in, rote learning out; cross curricular work in, cross curricular work out. Let’s use evidence to make decisions (that is targeted at Ministers of Education).
What are your interests?
Wild swimming (well, it’s more like bobbing around than swimming).
