4. Why should we mark? "The research reported here shows conclusively that formative assessment does improve learning. The gains in achievement appear to be quite considerable, [...] among the largest ever reported for educational interventions”. (Black and William, 1998) "Of all the factors that make a different to student outcomes, the power of feedback is paramount in any list. The overall effect-sizes of feedback from over 1000 studies based on 50,000+ students reveal that feedback is among the highest of any single factor, and it underpins the causal mechanisms of most of the factors in the top 10-20 factors that enhance achievement." (Hattie, 2009)

5. Does this have to be written feedback? • No…much excellent formative feedback from staff is given orally in lessons! • However, for many of us, “marking” gives us a few minutes to reflect on the learning journey of an individual student and guide their next steps. • Marking outside the lesson should be reserved for more substantial pieces of work ….fewer pieces, done in more depth.

6. What are we aiming for? • What does excellent/effective feedback look like? • What happens as a result? CHALLENGE – EVALUATION – CREATIVITY – CLARITY – FOUNDATIONS – COLLABORATION

7. The words of an Ofsted Inspector… • To support learning, comments are much more effective if they are expressed as questions: ‘Could you give an example?’ ‘What else does this make you think of?’ ‘How does this compare with..?’ The teacher should not be providing the child with the answer, but expecting them to think and to refine their work as a result. • Schools who have got the hang of this know that they have to dedicate time during lessons for children to act on the feedback. And there’s no getting away from it, this means we have to be prepared to cut content. In favour of learning. So no contest.

17. What was successful in engaging students with feedback? • Using a set format (e.g. assessment tags) which students will become familiar wit • Marking against a set criteria – Students are clear on how to achieve the level they are aiming for. • Planning tasks which ensure students read the criteria • Planning sufficient time in lessons for peer assessment using assessment criteria • Allowing students sufficient time to act on feedback, to ensure that they are using it to make progress with learning CHALLENGE – EVALUATION – CREATIVITY – CLARITY – FOUNDATIONS – COLLABORATION
