Michael Walker

Doctoral Researcher

Mick taught in the secondary phase of education for around seventeen years before working as an advisory teacher then as a local authority inspector. He moved on to work for national government agencies including the National Curriculum Council where he was involved in developing the national curriculum. Before retiring Mick was Executive Director of the Qualifications and Curriculum Development Agency during which time he held responsibility for monitoring general qualification and vocational awarding bodies and from 2008 held accountability for national curriculum assessments.
Summary of research project:
The status of teachers’ assessments in high stakes qualifications and tests does not attract the same levels of confidence as externally set and marked components. The increased use of assessments as accountability measures in the compulsory phase of education in England has resulted in a level of mistrust in some quarters over the reliability of teacher-based assessments. This has also been linked to concerns about the lack of expertise in assessment theory and practice within the teaching profession. This study aims to gain a deeper understanding of issues around trust in teacher assessment and the development of a strategy to provide more public and professional confidence in teacher assessment outcomes.
