Learning journey tube map - excellent assessment for learning tool and ideal for revision

(0)
There are two resources - an example lesson and a tube map slide that is easy to modify. This is a student friendly alternative way of sharing learning outcomes with students at the start of lesson and assessing their learning at the end. The first slide can be shown to the students. Each tube line represents a different part of the lesson. The learning outcomes start easier and then become more challenging as the lesson progresses. The second slide can be printed and used as a personal learning checklist for the lesson and as an assessment for learning tool. Students rate their confidence on a scale of 1 to 5. 1 is low and 5 is high. They can share this score with the teacher using their fingers. They write this score in the left of the two boxes at the start and in the right of the two boxes after a learning activity.

AFL Strategies 2 - Number line

(0)
I am putting together a series of AFL strategies and I will be adding to this series over the coming year. This strategy is a new idea that I have had using a number line that I initially created to help students during practicals. I have tried this out with Year 7 classes and they absolutely loved it! A photo of the number line in my classroom (laboratory) is provided to give an idea of how it might look. Please provide feedback to my TES inbox. I will amend this with suggested improvements later in the year.

Student friendly marking grid - great for AFL, marking 6 mark questions and demonstrating progress

(0)
This is a student friendly marking grid that was designed following a staff CPD session that I attended where an art teacher related how she provided students with specific pre-written assessment points that were numbered to reduce copying out. There are 6 marking points. I make the first 3 easier points for weaker students to meet and the last 3 more challenging points to stretch the students and provide evidence of progress. The grid can then be copied to a word document and printed two grids to one A4 page. An example lesson is provided (alternatives to fossil fuels) to see how this can be used in lesson. The students reply to their EBI in their books. Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

These are A4 moved classroom labels that I laminate and keep on the back of my door. Then when the class moved from a lab to an ICT room or the library we put this on the front of the door so that staff or students know where the class has moved to.

These is a set of resources that I developed for my GCSE and A level students to help them structure their revision. This will help to reduce stress levels and my improve exam performance. Each day of the week is broken down into seven sections. These could be seven hours or seven half hours, depending on how much time the student wants to spend revising in one go. Revision tips are provided at the bottom of the calendar. A example revision schedule is provided for students to have a look at.
