Research and Development at Tuxford Academy Improving Effective Written Feedback Chris Wray and Hanna Davies
Why? • OFSTED: “What does the school need to do to improve further? Check students understanding and effectively guide their next steps both in lesson and through marking.” • Breaking down barriers • Improving training opportunities
Success Criteria 1. For the quality of effective feedback and marking to improve so that students feel empowered to make greater progress. 2. For staff to use more effective and creative methods of feedback. 3. To reduce staff workload whilst improving pupil progress.
What is effective feedback for pupils? • Clear focus on next steps to progress. • Opens a dialogue with their teacher about achievement and improvement. • Creative and engaging.
Effective Strategies Teacher comment in book: “Good understanding, which method did you find easiest?” Pupils response: ”I understood this work today, I found it quite easy and I would like to try 2 digit by 3 digit or 3 digit by 3 digit (multiplication) I think it would be easier”. (KS2 Numeracy)
A Collaborative Approach Dunham-on-Trent Primary School. Develop links across primary to secondary schools concerning effective feedback. Discover methods used with feedback and younger students . Research suggests primaries are one step ahead e.g. CPD training available.
How will improved effective feedback be implemented? • 4 twilight training sessions at Tuxford this year and research on impact and effectiveness. • Website Trent Valley Training Schools Alliance. • DALP day workshop and further collaborative work within the Primary Family. • NQT and student teachers training program.
