This document discusses using "zonal marking," also known as "yellow box marking," as a way to provide feedback to students on their work. Teachers can vary the size of the yellow box depending on the expected length of the student's response. They can also vary the improvement instructions, such as asking students to complete or improve the original task, answer a challenge question, or apply a target to another situation. Teachers are also encouraged to have students use the yellow box to indicate which part of an extended answer they want the teacher to focus on providing detailed feedback for.

Assessment 3
Quizzing students regularly is an effective formative assessment technique that allows teachers to evaluate student understanding and adjust lessons accordingly. Short quizzes at the beginning of each lesson, based on homework readings, or at the end of units can help teachers identify material students have mastered or still need more support on. Formative quizzes should be low-stakes to encourage students to take risks and learn from any mistakes without stress. Teachers are encouraged to use tools like Show My Homework or Quizlet to conveniently create and assign review quizzes.
Revision strategies 2
Revision foldables provide a concise way for students to review key information from a unit by testing their understanding through interactive exercises. Students create foldables with definitions, diagrams, labels, or tasks hidden underneath folds of paper to quiz themselves or peers on important concepts. These revision tools can be completed in class to build a study aid bank or focused weekly on different topics as a summary exercise at the end of each unit.
Differentiation 5
Differentiation strategies for exam preparation include providing model exam responses at different mark levels and having students analyze and order them, as well as giving a model response above a student's target grade for them to identify strengths and apply those to improving their own answers.
Revision strategies 5
Students are provided with creative revision strategies for exam questions, including exploding exam questions into pieces, organizing questions by theme, having students move between tables to add their ideas to different questions, giving students an answer and having them make the question, and identifying the question that does not link to the others. While the examples are math-based, many of the ideas can be transferred to other classrooms. The guide offers teachers a range of strategies for engaging revision activities during class.
Differentiation 4
Differentiation is the focus for half term three. Teachers should identify and clarify key words for students by ensuring they understand what the words mean and how they can be used. This can be done through matching activities that revisit keywords each lesson or by having students maintain a word bank or key word wheel in their books to develop vocabulary.
Key stage three 1
Using retrieval practice grids encourages students in Key Stage Three to recall and retain previous learning. Teachers can use grids to set point-based challenges for students to test their recall at the beginning or end of a unit. Students can also create their own grids to demonstrate their understanding and retention of key skills and knowledge.
Assessment 4
This document discusses five ways to give effective feedback to students as actions: 1) have students re-draft or re-do an assignment, 2) rehearse or repeat an activity through practice, 3) revisit and respond to feedback, 4) re-learn and re-test an area, and 5) research and record information to address feedback. The goal is for feedback to lead to specific, concrete improvements in a student's learning. These five approaches are presented as ways to structure feedback so students know exactly how to apply it.
Revision strategies 4
Revision strategies include visual aids like diagrams and posters, mnemonics developed with partners to remember key information, and loci where landmarks are associated with content to improve recall. Teachers can implement these in class through activities such as creating visuals, developing mnemonics in pairs, writing practice mark schemes, or generating questions for peers to answer.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.

The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Assessment 6
- 1. Sharing Teaching and Learning Ideas Half Term Four Focus: Assessment Key Idea: Zonal Marking (Yellow Box Marking) The yellow box is used to indicate the area students are to use to complete their responses to your feedback. Ways you can do this in your classroom: • Vary the size of the box depending on the development of response you expect to see • Vary the improvement instructions (complete / improve original task, challenge question, apply target to another situation) • Encourage students to use the yellow box on extended answers to indicate the part of their work they want marked in detail by the teacher (this could follow SA/PA).
