A helpful marking and feedback teacher mat to aid Early Careers Teachers particularly.

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
