Why: • Ensuring there was a greater consistency in amount of feedback • Ensuring there was a greater consistency in the quality of feedback • Increase use of peer/self assessment • Closing the assessment loop
Policy: • Marking Stamp • Policy of a minimum of 2 ‘stamped’ pieces of assessment per teacher per term
Strategies to support assessment: • Use of traffic lights in planners • Mini whiteboards in planners • All students have a green pen – used for peer/self assessment • Swap it over – teacher completes student response to student’s self assessment • Student responses used as H/L to allow in depth responses/redrafting
