This is a good way of subtly reminding the class of what needs to be in the work and what great work looks like. ]]> 2020-05-18 12:26:28 UTC https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/579743211 190064121 https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/579746242 2020-05-18 12:28:00 UTC https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/579746242 190064121 https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/579756876 Written feedback should be educative for the child and not just a well done, it should tell the child the exact good techniques they have used and where they have possibly gone wrong. In maths written feedback could even be an extra question underneath the work to focus their learning onto something specific or to solidify learning. In English it could be a small extension of some sentences with specific grammatical techniques. ]]> 2020-05-18 12:33:06 UTC https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/579756876 190064121 https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/579759945 2020-05-18 12:34:36 UTC https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/579759945 19010545 https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/579771420 Is also known as assessment for learning. It is ongoing and is continuous throughout effective teaching and learning. Cooper (2014) refers to it as a process in which the learner and teacher interact as learning is reviewed. The Assessment Reform Group (2002) devised 10 principles which summarise assessment for learning. ]]> 2020-05-18 12:39:57 UTC https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/579771420 19010545 https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/579779844 The purpose of summative assessment is to find out how much a child has learned from a unit of work. It is concerned with the accountability and looks back to find out what has been attained so that information can be given about what a child has achieved. The assessment may be in the form of a test or exam and some schools may require teachers to carry out summative assessments to assess children’s attainment at a given time during the school year (Ewan’s, 2014). The evaluation of learning provides information which helps teachers review the process of teaching and learning. ]]> 2020-05-18 12:43:45 UTC https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/579779844 19010545 https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/579782288 It is a means of exploring what children know and understand, as well as finding out about misconceptions, before starting something new. There are different ways that teachers capture this information, such as through orally questioning, asking questions about things children want to know, peer discussion and visual representation such as jotting down ideas and mapping or drawing pictures. This information helps the teacher to start the work at an appropriate level but can be seen as a continuous process (Petty, 2009) ]]> 2020-05-18 12:44:57 UTC https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/579782288 19010545 https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/579794364 Teachers who are effective at using assessment understand that both teacher and learner need to be engaged in the process of assessment. This is done so learners can take responsibility for their learning and know what they need to do to progress. The opportunities teachers create to support assessment for learning include sharing the learning objectives with learners however the children need to have a real understanding rather than just reciting the objective. A key role of a teacher is to implement strategies to support children to assess their own work as well as others through the use of self and peer assessment within lessons. Feedback becomes a two way process in which discussions about the learning will help the learner to identify what they have done well, what they want to improve on and how they might achieve the next steps in learning. ]]> 2020-05-18 12:50:18 UTC https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/579794364 19010545 https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/579795675 At the end of each key stage, children will be set national statutory tests and tasks. At other times, schools may administer their own or published tests to identify pupil attainment and progress at interim points between the key stages. The goal of summative assessment is to measure the level of success by comparing it against a specific standard. The assessment provides information about the level of attainment achieved, allowing the teacher to plan for the next steps in that child’s learning to enable them to make progress. The information from the assessment can other be useful for other members of the school staff and parents. ]]> 2020-05-18 12:50:56 UTC https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/579795675 19010545 https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/579824078 Questioning is an integral part of assessment for learning and is a valuable pedagogical tool that teachers use. The following ideas clarify the key points when using questioning: 
- Allow time for pupils to respond to questions. 
- Consider when you use closed questions (requiring a yes or no response) and when to use open questions (where explanation and detail are given). ]]> 2020-05-18 13:02:41 UTC https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/579824078 19010545 https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/579825491 2020-05-18 13:03:18 UTC https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/579825491 19004961 https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/581106382 Data will come from a range of sources such as marking, observations, target setting, recording evidence and tracking records.

These can relate to academic progress as well as social aspects such as behaviour or attendance. Features of targets are often referred to as SMART ( specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time bound). It needs to be easy for the child to understand what has to be done to achieve it. Targets need to be attainable and agreed so that ownership can be taken. Drawing the children’s attention to the target and the start of the lesson and then discussing the target at the end of the lesson are important in supporting the learner to recognise the progress made. ]]> 2020-05-18 22:24:21 UTC https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/581142266 19004961 https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/581149033 Ongoing assessment during a lesson Is an element of effective practice and it integral to a teachers practice. Teachers can also assess through marking children’s work or when the teacher is working with an individual or a group. Recording this information will identify children who have met, exceeded, or not met the learning outcome. Each school will have its own system of recording and each teacher may have a preferred way or recording their assessments. ]]> 2020-05-18 22:30:17 UTC https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/581149033 190064121 https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/581156248 Oral or verbal feedback can subtly help a child’s standard of work and help their confidence. A small phrase or physical gesture to let a child know they are on the right tracks when giving an answer can boost their confidence to try it again next time, and sitting next to a child as they are working for a short amount of time and giving them verbal feedback while they are still in the mindset of that task will help them to deepen their understanding and further understand the praise or criticism. ]]> 2020-05-18 22:36:40 UTC https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/581156248 190064121 https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/581159544 Having small amounts of allotted time for children to respond to marking will help them to see their mistakes in the work and comment any ideas they have to improve their work. This is especially good if written feedback includes a small extension question or a question that solidifies their learning, giving the children time to see and answer these questions is important. ]]> 2020-05-18 22:39:17 UTC https://padlet.com/19002387/tb538yorlle2t4u9/wish/581159544
