“Oh GOSH! Reflecting on Hackteria's Collaborative Practices in a Global Do-It...
TITLEAFL Strategies
1. Aim:
AFL: Helping students progress
in their learning
Develop effective assessment for learning strategies to review
student progress.
• At what level are you?
• Where do you want to go?
• How do you get there?
2. • Y12s back in lessons from Monday.
• Please keep standards high, especially
homework/punctuality.
• New policies and procedures will be in
place for September.
3. Going back to basics…
• Students knowing where they are. (TA/TPG?)
• Where they are going. (Target?)
• How to get there. (?)
Assessment for learning is qualitative.
Data is quantitative.
Data cannot tell students ‘How to get there’ – that’s our job.
But also give them an opportunity to do it.
4. An easy marking strategy…
• Use of A, B, C etc questions.
• Ask them a question which will further their
understanding.
• Ask them to do something which will develop their
skills.
• Differentiate. Judge it based on the student and their
answer….
5. • U grade.
• Needs lots of support.
• Doesn’t know the
answers.
• Improvements mean
11/11 – A grade.
6. • E grade, but
clearly has an
understanding.
• Exam technique
issues ie.
Vagueness and
application to
context.
• I’m not doing it for
him!
• I’m not saying
‘next time apply to
study’.
7. • A student who got
full marks!
• Too easy!
• Stretch
understanding
which extension
questions you
think they could
handle/attempt.
• This will help in
future/harder
assignements
• Growth mindset
8. An easy marking strategy…
• Further understanding……
• What does that term mean? e.g. they applied it incorrectly
because they clearly don’t understand the term.
• Why is this term (circle it) used incorrectly here?
• Why did you get 1 mark but not 2?
• How is X different to Y?
• Identify two strengths of X? (they got this question wrong and you
want them to look it up or talk to their classmate).
• What quotation/evidence could you have included here?
9.
10. An easy marking strategy…
• Develop skills…..
• Explain what this examination term wants you to do.
• Rewrite this sentence so that it is clearer to read.
• Develop this evaluation point with at least one sentence. Think
about why the results might not generalise to other cultures. Give
an example
• Rewrite this application point using the ‘two sentence technique’
we used in class: One strength of X is…. In this context it is…..
• Explain why this essay required that you used the ‘burger
technique’
• Write a concluding sentence for THIS paragraph which shows the
11.
12. Longer term marking
strategy…
• Formalising some of the assessments.
• Using the summer gain time to embed very effective
AFL.
• New A-level specifications….
• New KS3…
• New KS4…
13. • What they had done so far (difficult for a year 7
to understand).
