His guest in this episode, James Beadle, is here to unpick all of that and add some additional nuance.

<p>Sam and Emma go to work on assessment validity, poring over the research of Prof Keith Topping to consider everything teachers need to bear in mind when setting both formative and summative tests. If our assessment is invalid then there is little point in doing it, so it is worth giving thought to this area.
