This is a reflective learning guide for pupils' to follow for each of their projects - it is a generic format so it can be used for any project. It is a comprehensive guide yet a simple learning circle that makes life easier for pupil's and teachers. It includes vital points where pupils should utilise self/peer and teacher feedback. It is also a development circle that creates opportunities for further ideas and experiments - crucial to identifying learning and assessment for GCSE Art & Design higher grades. It will also assist with reaching desired outcomes for all artistic standards. I hope you find it useful, you can adapt/change the wording as fits for you if you need to. I have copies on my wall and laminated copies for pupils to follow in class, plus paper copies for them to keep and refer to.

I developed this over a number of years of trial and find this promotes a clear understanding of pupils knowing where they are. It is split into two, Unit 1 you can use 2 or 3 times as preferred and unit 2 for the externally set exam. Peer Assessment Self Assessment Formative and Summative with the opportunity to show clear feedback to pupils to encourage progress. I hope you enjoy.

This is the new levels and descriptors for AQA GCSE Art & Design. You can use it to create a Learning Wall as it is the essential objectives mix. My pupils pin their names on the wall for each objective when they are self and peer assessing. it is layed out as follows: Title - you decide on this, mine is GCSE Art & Design/Textiles Sub Title: Mine is - What Grade am I? Then under that along the top the 4 assessment objective descriptions Down along the side edge the grades/marks In the gaps then, the relevant assessment criteria. It is all colour coded. You may need to refer to the new specification to put your criteria in the correct order. I hope it saves you a lot of time!
