Listen on 
Episode 1: Can assessment actually be a source of inspiration?
In our first episode, we explore assessment and the idea that it can be much more than something that's imposed on students. Usha James, TC² Executive Director, interviews Garfield Gini-Newman, TC² Senior National Consultant, about the ways that assessment can actually be used to inspire. Rather than prompting feelings of anxiousness and trepidation, assessment can be designed to inspire further learning and curiosity. Usha and Garfield explore practical and powerful ways to re-think assessment and how it can be used to inspire thoughtful and meaningful learning.
