Valentina initially embarked on her career as a history and philosophy teacher in secondary education. Over the years, she held diverse roles within secondary education, accumulating a lot of experiences. In higher education, she served as an assessment expert at an applied university’s teacher training program. Valentina’s journey into formative action began with the master’s program ‘Learning and Innovation,’ eventually becoming her area of expertise. Collaborating with René Kneyber and Dominique Sluijsmans, she co-authored a book on formative action and curriculum design. Together, they founded the highly successful teacher training organization ‘Toetsrevolutie’ or ‘Formative Action School.’ Their impactful work has led to the successful implementation of formative action and feedback processes in secondary education, and they now share their expertise to assist organizations across the Netherlands. As an educational consultant, Valentina travels extensively throughout the country, delivering engaging keynotes, workshops, and training sessions for teachers.
