Welcome to 100% Assessment – A New Substack on School Assessment
Welcome to 100% Assessment, a Substack publication featuring regular articles on school assessment by Becky Allen and Matthew Evans (with occasional guest contributions).
Our goal is to help schools build an assessment ecosystem that actively promotes learning. While we will discuss measuring attainment effectively, our focus goes beyond that. We’ll draw on insights from curriculum design, pedagogy, cognitive science, and behavioural psychology to explore how assessment can support students on their learning journey.
We’ll cover every assessment occasion where we aim to understand what an individual student knows and can do—from a quick three-question quiz (as long as individual responses are assessed rather than just gauging class competency) to large-scale government assessments.
Whether you're a class teacher, Headteacher, or Assessment Lead, this Substack is for you.
If you're just getting started, we recommend beginning with these three posts:
