This does what is says on the tin- it is a checklist for students to use to check that they are doing all they can to refine their work and target areas to improve in each different assessment area in GCSE Art and Design- The AO`s are bound to change at some point- but this has been really useful to give to students and have them self evaluate their progress. It has been useful for AFL and peer marking in lesson- and also as a (more beefy) starter. I have also had students checking eachother's portfolios to target areas to improve- which ended well ...in most cases (aside from one GCSE group- where tension ran high following a heated disagreement over A04. Luckily I was able to dissolve the the situation with singing and star jumping at the same time (which I believe is the answer to most classroom management issues).

I made this resource to help develop student`s understanding of how they are marked at GCSE level and how the numbers on the assessment objectives match with the eventual grade they will get. It was really useful to use in lesson to get students to mark their own work and take ownership over understanding the marking system. I hope it helps... I have uploaded the PowerPoint and JPEG image- as teachers may wish to change the framework / numbers depending on changes in grade boundaries/ exam boards etc

Understanding A-Level Photography / Fine Art Marking and Assessment for AFL: This presentation (and accompanying jpegs) contain resources for helping A-Level students understand Marking and Assessment at A-Level (AFL) - I use these resources in my teaching of AS and A-Level students and help students : - Learn about marking - Mark / Peer Assess their work - Try to understand how the numbers correspond to their grade / mark It has been really useful in my lessons for ensuring understanding of marking and AFL- and has made what can be a painful part of the lesson- really worthwhile and useful. Hope it helps you to… - There are loads of other resources for Photography and Fine Art on my Youtube channel- if you fancy a look copy and paste this link - http://bit.ly/1HEaYOo - Any questions please email me:-)

I made this to help me explain the process of photography to my students- It has been really helpful if you are in a busy lesson and need a visual to help you explain something complex. It has been useful as a checklist and prompt for initiating conversation about what successful units of work need to show.

I made this to help AS photography students- so they have a simple, printable document that explains the descriptor and A0s- it might save you all 10 minutes of faffing, making it on PowerPoint- and is really useful to fix into their sketchbooks at the start of the exam :-)

This resource is intended to give students guides and tips for preparing to make their Creative Portfolio for Fine Art/ Photography. It also contains examples of possible questions (and responses) that students will be asked when they attend College and University Interviews. These resources are supported by Videos I have made using my own work to illustrate the tips and guides- They can be found http://bit.ly/1HEaYOo Portfolios and interviews can be stressful for students- and lengthy for teachers to prepare students for-considering the time constraints of A-Level teaching- so I made this resource to help both teachers and students :-) The resources are also available to view @ http://linkd.in/1TtnJU9 Please check out my other resources for Photography and Fine Art on TES and on be.net/grw

This grid will be useful to print off for GSCE Art Students (AQA) as it shows grade boundaries and marks and gives further detail for the wording / rough grading margins. i use this to get students to assess where they think they are and use in combination with examples so pupils have a clear idea of how the visual connects to the actual grading process

http://bit.ly/1RQdRB1 ..... The link above will zap you to a portfolio of images was made to showcase our super AS and A2 Photographer's work from 2015- at Thomas Alleyne's High School, Uttoxeter. I posted it on TES following seeing the mdtc e-portfolio, which was really great. I hope that our student's images will inspire others in their work. Any questions please email...

This PowerPoint is contains 7 of the most useful slides I use in my own lessons to help teach my students how to use different camera settings and develop their understanding of how to take effective photographs. It covers apertures, shutter speeds and ISO etc with supporting images. It also contains 2 really useful cheat sheets that I give students to use as they take photographs in lesson

I have used this PowerPoint and Worksheets in this resource in my GCSE and A-Level Photography (and Fine Art) teaching/ lessons to help students deal with problems, learn shortcuts and work more effectively and efficiently. They have been great for dealing with large numbers of students- when they are all on Photoshop at the same time - or if you want something quick to refer to to make lessons run smoothly. The cheat sheets and quick guides help students get into the technical side a bit quicker. I have also included 3 guides / checklists that help when students when they are photographing images- and marking/editing and cropping their contacts once they have taken the photos. - There are loads of other resources for Photography and Fine Art on my Youtube channel- if you fancy a look copy and paste this link - http://bit.ly/1HEaYOo - Any questions please email me:-)
