Why do we currently assess students’ work?
To provide feedbackFor parents
To see what level they are at
Because that’s what teachers do
To help them move on

Two guiding principles
60% of secondary children never have a conversation with an adult in school
Prof John West-Burnham
UK spends £2.4 billion in teacher marking, chiefly to keep parents happy. Most marking has no effect.

Improving learning throughassessment depends on:
•the provision of effective feedback to pupils;•the active involvement of pupils in their own learning;•adjusting teaching to take account of the results of assessment;•a recognition of the profound influence assessment has on the motivation and self-esteem of pupils, both of which are crucial influences on learning;•the need for pupils to be able to assess themselves and understand how to improve.

10 practical steps to improve marking
Have an assessment policy that clearly separates FORMATIVE and SUMMATIVE assessment1
Assessment for learning
Assessment for monitoring

Re-think what formative assessment includes …2
Peer evaluation
Group feedback
Rapid 1:1s

Therefore re-think assessment tasks and homework

eg every lesson has a homework of 15 minutes
Reinforcing skills … leading to the next stage in learning

Thus give higher status to homework4
Every lesson starts swith a rapid recap of skills

Thus use step-by-step homeworks to lead to key assessments every 4 weeks

Communicate this policy to parents, emphasising the frequency and rigour of homework

Make marking criteria explicit - ie “this is what I am looking for in this piece of work”

Mark selectively: eg features which are related to:(i) the specific task(ii) subject-specific uses of language and/or(iii) the school’s cross-curricular priorities for literacy development.

NEXT STEPS

them & what doesn’t
Get clear in your own mind formative -v- summative assessment
Get one team testing new homework-setting patterns
Display marking criteria in all classrooms
Use sampling to evaluate marking
