  • develop sustainable assessment and feedback practices that improve attainment in mathematics and science for students.
  • challenge stereotyped attitudes and practices which raise anxiety on the part of teachers and students
  • disseminate the outcomes of the project in the form of online resources, academic and professional publications, conference presentations as well as policy briefs to government agencies at a regional, National, European and International level.
