Teachers should aim to mark student work regularly in order to provide feedback on progress, evaluate teaching, and inform next steps. Marking should reference student target levels and grades, and provide clear guidance on improvement. Both teachers and students should understand performance criteria and learning goals. Formative feedback should celebrate achievement, while constructive comments and new targets help students progress towards their goals. Regular target setting involves students in self-assessment to enhance commitment and a shared understanding of success criteria.

Self-Assessment refers to training students to evaluate their own .docxkenjordan97598
Ā
Self-Assessment refers to training students to evaluate their own work for the purpose of improving it. To become capable evaluators of their work, students must have a clear target the opportunity to help create a definition of quality work feedback the opportunity to correct or self-adjust their work before they turn it in. Self-Assessment also includes reflective activities in which students are prompted to consider the strengths and weaknesses of their work, make plans for improvement, or integrate the assignment with previous learning.
Students learned how to improve their work when they participated in reflective activities, the remaining element of Self-assessment. Reflective thinking has historically been promoted as a central part of learning.
In order to support student learning, classroom assessment needs to involve students deeply in the assessment process, provide specific, descriptive feedback during the learning, and include evaluative feedback as required to communicate and report progress over time. This helps build a shared language that everyone can use to describe growth and learning.
There are several essential elements of the classroom assessment process that supports student learning. To ensure success for all learners, especially those who struggle, students need to know what they already know, what needs to be learned and what success looks like. Students also need to learn how to guide their own learning through being involved in setting and using criteria, giving themselves feedback for learning (self-assessment), setting goals, collecting evidence and communicating that evidence of learning to others.
In order to communicate learning meaningfully to a variety of stakeholders, teachers involve students in collecting and organizing a broad range of evidence or proof of learning. Further, as teachers review evidence of learning from three different sources (observations of students engaged in learning, conversations with students about their learning, and reviewing their products (i.e. notebooks, tests, quizzes, projects, assignments, electronic data), they compare each student's learning not to other students but to the learning destination. This requires that teachers not only understand what students need to know and do but that they understand the level of quality appropriate for the course or grade level.
When students are engaged in the assessment process, they learn to self-monitor their way to success. Teachers achieve deep student involvement through assessment activities that provide assessment data and help students understand what is important and what quality looks like.
Why Is Student Self-Assessment Important?
Now that so much assessment is situated in daily classroom life, there are numerous opportunities to engage students in the assessment process. They can compare their work over time, create evaluation criteria for a project, discuss their strategies for reading difficult texts, work with peers .

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Ā
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Ā
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
ā¢ The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
ā¢ The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate āany matterā at āany timeā under House Rule X.
ā¢ The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2. Why do we mark work? To evaluate our studentsā progress. To evaluate the success of our teaching. To inform our students of how well they have understood. To inform our next steps in planning. To inform pupils of what they need to do next to improve.
3. What represents good practice in marking? Work should be marked regularly by the teacher. Work should be marked, where possible using using National Curriculum levels , with an awareness of the studentās target level. Where appropriate, students should mark and level their own and each otherās work (self and peer assessment): āAssessment for learning develops learners' capacity for self-assessment so that they can become reflective and self-managingā (QCA AfL Guidance). Formative, written assessment should take place at least once every new term.
4. What is good formative marking? Start with a positive: I really like the way you contribute to the lessonā¦ā āAssessment for learning should be sensitive and constructive because any assessment has an emotional impact. Teachers should be aware of the impact that comments, marks and grades can have on learners' confidence and enthusiasm and should be as constructive as possible in the feedback that they give.ā
5. āReally good use of connectives, now try to vary the adjectives that follow them and aim to make those adjectives agreeā. āAssessment for learning should take account of the importance of learner motivation. Assessment that encourages learning fosters motivation by emphasising progress and achievement rather than failureā¦ Motivation can be preserved and enhanced by assessment methods which protect the learner's autonomy, provide some choice and constructive feedback, and create opportunity for self-direction.
6. In writing formative comments, it is important to recognise that many students cannot meet our exacting standards as linguists. Formative comments we make must celebrate the achievements of all learners and targets set must be appropriately challenging. āAssessment for learning should recognise the full range of achievements of all learners: Assessment for learning should be used to enhance all learners' opportunities to learn in all areas of educational activity. It should enable all learners to achieve their best and to have their efforts recognised.ā
7. Formative comments and target setting Both teachers and students must be aware of target levels or grades and how to achieve those levels or grades. Planned learning and teaching activities must provide access to students to the skills they need to develop in order to achieve (or exceed) target levels. āAssessment for learning should focus on how students learn. The process of learning has to be in the minds of both learner and teacher when assessment is planned and when the evidence is interpreted. Learners should become as aware of the 'how' of their learning as they are of the 'what'.ā Formative comments should relate to NC levels or GCSE grades and provide clear information on how to achieve (target setting). You are working at level 3a. To move to level 4, you need to be able to write 3 or 4 connected sentences from memory, including your opinions. Aim, too, to include a question in your workā.
8. Target Setting: āAssessment for learning should promote commitment to learning goals and a shared understanding of the criteria by which they are assessed. For effective learning to take place learners need to understand what it is they are trying to achieve - and want to achieve it... Communicating assessment criteria involves discussing them with learners using terms that they can understand, providing examples of how the criteria can be met in practice and engaging learners in peer and self-assessment.ā
9. āLearners should receive constructive guidance about how to improve. Learners need information and guidance in order to plan the next steps in their learning. Teachers should: pinpoint the learner's strengths and advise on how to develop them be clear and constructive about any weaknesses and how they might be addressed provide opportunities for learners to improve upon their work.
10. Our job is to plan, teach, mark work formatively and set targets for individual students. āAssessment for learning should be regarded as a key professional skill for teachers. Teachers require the professional knowledge and skills to: plan for assessment; observe learning; analyse and interpret evidence of learning; give feedback to learners and support learners in self-assessment. ā
11. āAssessment for learning should be recognised as central to classroom practiceā āAssessment for learning should promote commitment to learning goals and a shared understanding of the criteria by which they are assessedā
12. Draft policy for marking and target setting: Teachers should aim to mark books once a fortnight. Work should be marked using either a NC level or T, T+, T-. Marking should reflect the studentsā individual target grade or level. Levels or grades given may equally relate to expectations for individual tasks. Pupils should be encouraged to assess their own and each otherās work, similarly awarding a level / grade, or T, T+ T-. in accordance with the teacherās instructions. Teachers do not need to re-mark work which has previously been marked by pupils.
13. Formative, written assessment should take place at least once per new term. Formative marking should be: Positive, remarking upon the studentās strengths and progress made so far. Informative, detailing the level (and sub-level) the student is working at currently and giving clear information about how what the student must do to improve. Negative remarks should be couched in positive terms: āTry really hard to listen attentively in the lesson and allow others to listen tooā.
14. To facilitate the above: Each student should have their target level marked clearly on the front of their exercise book. NC levels and grade requirements should be displayed on the wall of each MFL classroom and referred to regularly by the teacher. Anticipated levels should be referred to in lesson objectives on most occasions. Pupils should have level / grade requirements stuck into their exercise books and be encouraged to refer to them on a regular basis.
Editor's Notes
Teachers do not need to re-mark work previously marked by pupils. This is easy to achieve in MFL, where answers are frequently either right or wrong. Where marking needs to be more finely tuned, this should be carried out by the teacher.Formative assessment should be written at least once each new term. Formative remarks may also be made verbally and I recommend that this is recorded in some way: VFG (verbal feedback given??).
