Historical Association secondary webinar series: Meaningful and useable assessment in the secondary history classroom


Session 2: Assessing pupils’ answers to enquiry questions


Jonathan Grande


This session will consider how history teachers can go about ‘marking’ pupils’ answers to enquiry questions in a way that values the pupils’ own voice and independent thinking, and avoids restricting them to a mark scheme. The session will also explore how we might use the process of answering an enquiry question as ateachingopportunity, without losing it as an opportunity forassessment.
