An assessment tool:• Here, you need to create the resource that you/ the peer/ the student (self) willuse to formatively assess students.• This needs to evidence clear success criteria which aligns to both the contentoutcome and investigative skill, and also allows for the development of these.

A rationale/ justification for the choices you have made:• Why have you chosen a teacher/ peer/ self-assessment? What are the benefits of your choice? What are the benefits of formative assessment in science? Include at two references.• Explain how your assessment tool clearly aligns to, and develops success criteria for, both the content outcome and investigative skill.• Your tool should hopefully be clear and easy for someone else to follow. Commenton this!• Explain how the evidence that you get from this tool will allow you to improve your future teacher and learning planning• Finally, how reliable and valid is your assessment tool?• As a rough guide, the rationale paragraph(s) could be around 500 words.
