Here is a fascinating article for those of you looking at assessment - The Myth Of Assessment by John Yandell, Institute of Education
http://eduthinkpolicy.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/myths-of-assessment.html
This, by David Didau, is really fascinating, particularly
the video of Bjork (I have many more resources about Bjork if you’re
interested - see YouTube collection here: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=robert+bjork&sm=3):

Chris Hildrew’s blog – They are trying to replace NC levels…
with other levels…
Noble intentions and interesting reading nonetheless:Assessment in the New National Curriculum: What we are doing

Joe Kirby has summed up some of the issues around NC Levels:
Life after levels: where SLT fear to tread (sorry SLT members!)
Life after levels: who’ll create a mastery assessment system?
LEARNING AND MEMORISATION
ESSENTIAL ARTICLE:What will improve a student's memory? by cognitive scientist and key educational theorist Daniel Willingham
Here is Kris Boulton's blog. He is a Maths teacher and has written a series of 4 articles looking at this question:
Does memorisation get in the way of learning? – Part 1
Does memorisation get in the way of learning? – Part 2
Does memorisation get in the way of learning? – Part 3
Does memorisation get in the way of learning? – Part 4
Harry Fletcher-Wood has written this very interesting article too:
What I learned from learning the periodic table and other thoughts on memory and retention of historical knowledge and understanding
From Horatio Speaks, these two straightforward articles:

FEEDBACK
Tom Sherrington here on Making Feedback Count: 'Close the Gap' with a very helpful grid at the bottom:http://headguruteacher.com/2012/11/10/mak-feedback-count-close-the-gap/
David Fawcett has written two magnificent articles on feedback rooted in research:
Can I be that little bit better at......understanding why feedback doesn't stick?
http://reflectionsofmyteaching.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/can-i-be-that-little-bit-better.html?m=1
And his solutions:
Can I be that little bit better at ......using methods to make feedbackstick?

PLANNING
I'm staying with David Fawcett who has gathered much of the key research from cognitive science to help us plan effectively:Can I be that little better at……using cognitive science/psychology/neurology to plan learning?
