Teachers/leaders...

1. ..believe that their fundamental task is to evaluate the effect of their teaching on students' learning and achievement

2. ..believe that success & failure in learning is about what they as teachers/leaders did or did not do...They are change agents

3...want to talk more about learning than teaching

4...see assessment as feedback about their impact

5...engage in dialogue not monologue (Powerful Learning Conversation)

6...enjoy the challenge and never retreat to 'doing their best'

7...believe that it is their role to develop positive relationships in classrooms/staffrooms

8....inform all about the language of learning
