ESCAPE project
The ESCAPE Toolkit is a resource pack which details the processes and activities, including insights into critical success factors and guidance for implementation of the ESCAPE approach to supporting assessment practices . The toolkit is being used more widely in the University of Hertfordshire as a way of encouraging and enabling schools to map their current practices to established good principles in learning, teaching and assessment and to highlight areas where the current curriculum and assessment practices are not constructively aligned.
