DIRT (Dedicated Improvement and Reflection Time) is a great way for students to act upon the feedback that you have given as their teacher. I have designed these DIRT Feedback sheets that correspond with the National KS3 History Curriculum. The sheets are handed out to the students who find the corresponding assessment code on their work in order to do the task on the sheet. This means they are actively responding to my feedback, it saves me time marking and the students are reminded of what exactly it is we are assessing them on. Once they have handed back their corrections/tasks, they complete the ‘Next Steps’ section, where they have to write down HOW they are going to improve in the future. This also informs you how best to support your students going forward. These sheets can be used in conjunction with your schools’ setting of SMART Targets. This is an editable presentation for you to amend if needed. Please do not share.
