technology to help them thrive – and why they should take the leap now.

This session focuses on how schools can harness formative assessment within blended learning
to prepare students for success in curriculum-specific assessments. Drawing on case studies
with schools, we'll showcase assessment innovation in action -- from how technology can
enhance results analysis and inform responsive planning, teaching and learning, to services
that can support assessment and reduce teacher workload where it counts.

power of technology and innovation to enhance the teaching and learning experience and
empower all those involved in education. Learn more at: go.pearson.com/digitallearning
