It presents 10 principles of good assessment and feedback practice based on research. It also provides the rationale for these principles and their selection criteria. The dynamics inherent in the implementation of these principles are analysed in relation to two dimensions. The engagement-empowerment dimension is about the extent to which the principles support the development of learner self-regulation. The academic-social dimension is about the extent to which the principles bring together, in a mutually supportive way, academic and social experiences. It is argued that principles are an essential tool for teachers as they design, implement and evaluate their assessment practices. The framework is applied to the design of, and the problems identified with, the first year experience in higher education
