Challenges and Disappointment with Formative Assessment Implementation in Schools

Dylan Wiliam's 2016 appearance on the podcast remains the most listened to episode of all-time, and is always the one I direct first-time listeners to. And now Dylan is back to talk about his new book, Creating the Schools our Children need. In this episode we cover so much ground, including why decreasing class sizes is not as effective as you might think, why problem solving and critical thinking are not skills, how to harness the power of forgetting, and what is Dylan's view on how his work on formative assessment has been applied in schools. It is another classic!
