CLEAPSS: Supporting teachers to use formative assessment probes

Session synopsis: During the past 2 years CLEAPSS has worked with science leaders on how to link Predict-Explain-Observe (PEO) probes with practical work. The session described how CLEAPSS activities can be used to do this. During the session we shared examples of the impact that probes have had; describing what helped science leaders introduce and establish their use, highlighting the types of support they found useful.
