A defining quality of student-centred teaching is effective assessments. In recent years, the discourse around effective assessment has steered towards incorporating the assessment for learning strategy into curriculum development. In basic form, assessment for learning entails assessment where pre-emptive, future-oriented comments (called feedforward) are given to learners to guide improvement in future performances.

Students, especially as they get older, are often quite pessimistic. They often think that they can’t learn, that the teacher will not like what they’ve written, and that they will fail the unit test. This is often seen as a typical behavior for young people and is just dismissed. However, recent research suggests that this pessimism may have negative effects on students and is something that should be tackled by schools rather than simply dismissed.

Imagine your daughter designing life-saving medical technology, coding solutions for climate change, or engineering rockets to explore the stars. Yet, women make up only 28% of the STEM workforce , highlighting an untapped well of creativity and innovation. By providing early access to engaging STEM education, we can inspire more girls to explore their interests, develop valuable skills, and pursue successful careers in science and technology.
