I’m sharing this super-useful tool I have devised for getting feedback from your student’s on their confidence and understanding on your curriculum. This proforma has focussed on GCSE Geography Physical topics from paper 1 -UK physical landscapes, and Human paper 2 ’ Changing Economic World’. I have broken down each topic into 8 broad sections for ease, although you can alter the radial diagram if you wish. I used this for my year 11 classes to find out exactly where to focus my revision and intervention strategy for maximum impact. The segments that were less shaded/ left blank were areas of weakness. As it is visual feedback, you can almost instantly where gaps in knowledge are across multiple students, without the need for counting and data analysis. The added benefit is that student are learning about another data presentation technique for Paper 3 in the process! These can be stuck into student books/ revision folders as evidence of self assessment and used to set themselves appropriate target for revision also. This could be adapted for any subject or stage level.
