Focus on Assessment courses are for teachers who want to understand the assessment of a syllabus in
greater depth.

What will I learn?

This course is designed to develop your knowledge and understanding of assessment within this
Cambridge syllabus and build confidence in your teaching of this syllabus. You will explore how to use
formative and summative assessment to improve student learning.

Under the guidance of an experienced Cambridge trainer, you will:

identify assessment challenges

develop a deeper understanding of marking principles
have the opportunity to apply the marking principles
explore formative feedback
collaborate with other Cambridge International teachers.

Who is this course for?

This course is designed for teachers who have at least one year's experience of teaching this Cambridge
syllabus and/or have attended an Introduction course, as you will be sharing your experiences of teaching
this syllabus with other teachers.

If you are new to this syllabus or new to Cambridge International programmes and qualifications, we
strongly recommend that you attend an Introduction course
(https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/support-and-training-for-schools/professional-development/syllabus-
specific-courses/introduction-courses/index.aspx) first.
The syllabus year in the course name refers to the year in which the examination will be taken. You only
need to attend a Focus on Assessment course once. So, if you have attended this course, or the equivalent
Extension course previously (for this syllabus year), you do not need to attend again.

Who will deliver the course?

This course will be delivered by an accredited Cambridge trainer who is a subject expert with a range of
relevant classroom experience and have been involved in some aspect of marking. We do not provide
professional development courses delivered by examiners who have seen live papers.
