A helpful marking and feedback teacher mat to aid Early Careers Teachers particularly. (Citizenship specific -but could also be used by teachers of other subjects, as it is fully editable)
The mat demonstrates the difference between target marking and comment marking and aims to help you ensure that your marking is more purposeful and effective, thereby improving student attainment.
The mat includes ready made questions that can be given as feedback to students and helpful guidance on not only when to mark, but how to mark.
A free resource that i hope you find useful. Having been an ITT Coordinator for 3 years, and a mentor prior to that, I always shared this with my student teachers to help them manage their marking and feedback workload.
Made using Publisher
A FREE Theme E knowledge organiser for Edexcel Citizenship. It takes the specification and descriptors guidance for Theme E and has prompt questions and guidance for students. Students can fill it in as they go along and at various stages of planning and carrying out their Campaign.
Or, students can complete it after they finished their campaigns as a form of revision and in preparation for Paper. It also aids reflection and is perfect for the 12 mark questions surrounding their campaign.
Loved by my past students as it kept them on track and helped to coordinate a successful campaign. It is also a great resource for teachers to assess understanding and can be used to set targets. Can be used by teachers to plan practice questions also.
The resource begins with initial research into their campaign, allocating job roles, lobbying etc and ends with students’ evaluating and measuring local and wider impact.
Fully editable to suit your campaign. Made using Word.
Three fully editable revision sheets aimed at decoding the 12 mark question for Theme E. Each mat provided challenges students to question their own role and participation in their Theme E Citizenship campaign and how to evaluate success. The mats serve to develop skills of reflection, as well as encouraging student to evaluate and measure the impact of their own participation on the overall campaign-all of which are essential to be able to enter into the higher level tier in mark scheme.
The mats can be used prior to starting your Theme E campaign project or as revision and will aid in teaching students how to be reflective thinkers after the campaign has taken place. The mats also act as a revision checklist by describing the recommended ‘ingredients’ for what helps to bring about a successful Citizenship campaign. The mats challenge students to rank these ‘ingredients’ in order of importance and to evaluate the impact of what could happen without them. For example is having a clear objective and goals, more important than having accurate research and a range of data? Is a SMART Plan a guaranteed to be effective or are tolerance, patience and time management more important?
Mat 1 discusses democracy and asks students why it is essential to be democratic.
Mat 2 introduces collaboration as a key component in a Citizenship campaign,
Mat 3 concerns adaptablility and encourages reflection on how being adaptable can boost the reach and success of their campaign.
Each mat reinforces literacy skills through by providing a defiiniton, synonyms and antonyms of the key exam word that is to be discussed. This will improve vocabulary and push student to consider their own actions and behaviours throughout their campaign. For example when were they undemocratic, could they have been more adaptable? When did they their skills of collaboration?
Tired and tested in the Northwest. Loved by students. Great for revision!

Thank you
This is a great GCSE revision resource to challenge students to show what they know. Students have 1 minute to write what they know about each topic. There are 4 sheets, one per theme-A, B ,C and D in-line with the Edexcel specification for Citizenship. The resource is fully editable, allowing for different concepts/topics to be added by the teacher.
It also encourages students to discuss the concepts within Citizenship thereby allowing students to group together cross-curricular topics within one theme. For example, Justice, Democracy, Rights, Equality for example, which can later be relied upon for extended writing questions.
This resource can be used in class or as independent revision, in which it can then be marked by teachers and used to assess current levels of understanding. It is an effective and informative revision resource for both students and teachers alike.
By only allowing one minute it encourage students to simplify their knowledge, selecting only the key information/definitions that they need. Perfect for quick fire revision that can be changed and used time and them again.
Tried and tested in Northwest High Schools with students enjoying active revision. It can also be used as a starter Do it Now task to recall and retrieve information from previous lessons and learning, therefore the resource can be used in multiple ways.
