Daisy Christodoulou

Daisy Christodoulou is Director of

Education at No More Marking, an online
engine which aims to help teachers with
comparative-judgement assessment of
school work. Before this she was head of
education research at the charity Ark,
where she continues to be involved in an
advisory capacity.[1]
Background
Christodoulou grew up in London and
attended the University of Warwick.[2] She
first gained attention for appearing on
University Challenge as the captain of the
Warwick team, which won the 2006-2007
series.[3] She was trained as a secondary
English teacher under the Teach First
programme.[4]

After leaving university, she wrote the book

Seven Myths about Education which
suggests that declarative knowledge such
as facts is being neglected in modern
education because of the priority given to
procedural knowledge such as skills.[5][6]
Her second book, Making Good Progress?
The future of Assessment for Learning, was
published in 2017.[7] She has also taught
in two comprehensives located in
London.[4]

Christodoulou is also an advocate of

education assessment reform, curriculum
reform, and nation examination
readiness.[8] In 2017 she was named by
Anthony Seldon as one of "The 20 most
influential figures in British Education".[9]
