SALF: Self Assessment and Learning Folders – Guidelines for Teachers
Using Assessment for Learning strategies, this course clearly outlines the steps
involved in creating, compiling and completing Self Assessment and Learning
Folders with Junior, Middle and Senior classes in primary schools. It includes
strategies for recording children’s progress across all curriculum subjects,
personal interest surveys for children,together with a challenging and engaging
project work menu designed to provide differentiated starting points. The course
also outlines how the folders support the involvement of parents and others in
the assessment and learning process. SALF provides a concrete link that bridges
communication with an individual child, his/her peers and all who engage with
the child. The folders are used as an ‘Assessment for Learning’ strategy where
pupils document why and how they ‘come to know’ what makes for a good piece
of work in a given area. They then use those criteria when making judgements
about what and why to select certain pieces for inclusion at any given time. SALF
provides a concrete link that bridges communication with an individual child, his/
her peers and all who engage with the child.
