The ability to support students to progress towards their learning goals is at the core of the Assessment for learning approach in the IGCSE.

When implemented skillfully in your teaching strategy, Assessment for learning can gain enough momentum to not only drive students to excel in their exams but also take valuable lessons into the real world.

Created by Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe, GRASPS is a powerful assessment model that helps you promote Active Learning, and metacognitive skills, and bring about differentiation in your assessment tasks to shape student learning.
