How to Assess Through Inquiry Learning

Workshop Overview

Assessment doesn’t have to be a final destination—it can be an integral part of the inquiry journey. This workshop explores how to embed assessment seamlessly into student-led learning, ensuring it provides valuable insights while fostering student growth and agency.

Participants will:

  • Learn how to balance formative and summative assessments while keeping inquiry at the heart of the process.
  • Discover practical strategies to document learning authentically and assess understanding in dynamic, meaningful ways.
  • Explore how to provide timely, constructive feedback that supports reflection, growth, and deeper learning.
  • Develop approaches to make assessment a shared, reflective experience for both educators and students.
  • Gain insights into creating assessment structures that honour student voice, choice, and agency while maintaining rigour.
  • Learn how to harness children’s questions and wonderings, ensuring assessment allows space for their personal exploration and self-directed inquiry.

    This workshop is designed for all educators—whether in early years, primary, secondary, or beyond—offering powerful strategies to transform assessment from a box-ticking exercise into a rich, ongoing dialogue about learning. Through a blend of hands-on activities and research-based insights, participants will leave equipped with the tools to make assessment a natural, purposeful, and engaging part of the inquiry process, while ensuring student curiosity and exploration are at the forefront.
