Very best wishes for a successful conference - a good environment for empowering conversations. I have looked at the programme and if I had been able to attend, I would have chosen (and the dilemma of conferences is that you have to choose) presentations that make explicit the synergy between research and classroom practice: Jennifer Eddy's project based assessment and Evelina O'Donnell's work on Macbeth are my favourites. Difficult to choose since there are lots of other formative assessment presentations.

PS Important to bear in mind at all discussions on assessment: not everything that can be counted counts; not everything that counts can be counted.
