Pupils know: What they are learning How they are learning How they will be assessed

1. Assessment (is) for Learning • Pupils know: • What they are learning • How they are learning • How they will be assessed • Why they are at ‘x’ level • How to get to next level • Teachers : • Inform pupils of LO/AFs • Use different teaching methods to allow for learning styles • Assess pupils through different methods • Make success criteria clear & show how it is achieved • Give clear advice on how to make progress • Planning & Progression: • Learning Journeys • Afl informs future teaching • Identified Self/Peer Ass opportunities • Plan questions • Plan levelled work • Plan Progression of AFs • Extended Learning Tasks • PLTSs • Student Led Activities • Learning Ladders • Flexicam opportunities • Student friendly assessment criteria • Self Evaluation of HOW learning took place • Exemplar work • Assessments – effective? Informative? Challenge status quo? Identify weakness in curriculum/teaching? • Marking & Feedback: • Research shows that comment only marking is highly effective. • Common marking key to aid pupil understanding • APP (Assessing Pupils’ Progress) • Clear target(s) for improvement • Pupil dialogue • Target stickers • Comment Bank Stickers • Levelled Stickers • WWW (What went well) • EBI (Even Better If) • P.I.E (+ve, Improve/Encourage) • Subject Specific & Positive • Students create mark scheme • Learning Objectives: • All/Most/Some • Levelled • Must/Could/Should • WALT (what we are learning for) • WILF (What I am Looking for) • Pupils identify at a point in lesson • Also used in plenary • Student friendly

2. Remember these are strategies to SUPPORT Afl, they are not the definition of Afl. Strategies: Thumbs Up/Side/Down Mini Whiteboards to show answer Questioning Style Students as Teachers Sharing success/flexicam Complex Learning Journeys KWL Grids (Plenary) Triangles Peer/Self Post Its Talk Partners 2* & a Wish Traffic Lights Key word monitors • Questioning: • Question Box in the room • No Hands Up • Wait Time • Open Vs Closed • Wait & Recap • Pupil to pupil dialogue • Students write Qs • Bouncing – ‘bouncing’ the answer from one student to the other to develop the depth of understanding. • Hinge questions – the questions which must be understood in order to move on in terms of learning • Question Stems What I What I want What I Know to know learnt What went well.. Would be better if... Why does…? What if…? How would you…? Could you explain…? What might…? Pupils who have difficulty with some key words (e.g. photosynthesis) are named key word monitor and have the task that lesson of spending 5 mins checking people have used the word/spelt it right/used it correctly What I know What I want to learn What I have learnt
