Feedback from Marking Feedback and Assessment Course

1. SUCCESS CRITERIA IS VITAL

If you were asked to draw a house would we all draw the same things?Would you have included a ChimneyGreeneryGaragePathDrawn in 3D

Putting things in context.Improving Pupil Progress.Quality Feedback and Meta-Cognitive approaches (student reflect and think for themselves) comes out top in Impact vs Cost2

Example of Success Criteria/Feedback Sheets (although I know lots of teachers use these already)

Mini whiteboards are essential for gaining whole class feedback and checking knowledge/understanding before a piece of work makes feedback and intervention easierMini whiteboards are the modern version of slate and chalk..

Quality Feedback (and forward!) must fit into one of the following areas and must relate back to the success criteria/lesson objectiveE.G Great Work, Keep it up!E.G This isnt good enoughE.G You have identified the link between plate boundaries and where earthquakes occurE.G Include actual facts about conditions in sweatshopsUse a range of techniques to assess students.All of the work we mark fits into one of the following categories. They all have strengths and weaknesses but what matters is that its effective.

Pick one and use as a trial for a class and see if it improved pupil performanceTeacher marks individual pupil work and gives individual written feedbackTeacher marks individual work and gives individual written feedback using technology to support (e.g labels; feedback sheets)Teacher marks individual feedback and uses a coding system (letters, numbers, colours) that can be explained to whole classTeacher marks one piece of work and gives whole class feedback using technology to support (tablet?) E.g take a photo of student work instantly and you annotate and explain on whiteboard (educreations is a good App)Teacher marks individual work verbally and give individual verbal feedback pupil writes this down. Use Verbal feedback stamp/stickerPupils mark each others work and give each other feedback. E.g Austins Butterfly approach

This is the way forward..!!!!!!!!!!This helps us, as teachers, evidence the discussion we have all the time with students.

It also allows us to beSoft on people, hard on content

Students then write down what is going well and what they need to do to improve (meta-cognitive approach)

Austins Butterfly Pupil Feedback and Redrafting

Year 7 Letter to Indian Prime MinisterWord Mats/Language for Learning Mats

www.wordle.netwww.tagxedo.comOverviewMarking is all about getting a return on your investment and thats what OFSTED want to see. Theyre interested in pupil response/dialogue

Simple success criteria linked to LO

Value re-drafting and taking time to reflect (Austins Butterfly) Dont be afraid to take time out and use Reflecting as part of the lesson objective

Use of place mats (include content; task; success criteria; model answer with marking annotations; checklist of expectations)

Sky News lessons (LO with simple success criteria, could embed a video, language mat and maybe some other pic/text all on one slide)
