Make marking and responding to a piece of work simple. The attached ‘Responding to Work’ form is called, ‘Can we fix it? … YES WE CAN.’ You can use this form at the end of a lesson, after a test, at the end of a small or large topic (just about anything). It’s easy to follow, adaptable and quick … just follow the instructions below! Type in the ‘I can statements’ in the first box. These can be the ‘success criteria’ from a lesson or ‘specific’ areas within a topic (e.g. Time). I’ve attached an example form. Then, when you mark a child’s piece of work, tick the ‘I can statements’ the child has achieved. Then choose 1 ‘I can’ statement that HASN’T BEEN ACHIEVED and make this the child’s NEXT STEP (get the child to write this in the ‘next step’ box). Allow the child time to practice this next step/skill/target … this doesn’t have to be done straight away, but the sooner the better! Once the child has demonstrated they have achieved the 'NEXT STEP ‘independently’, staple (or stick) the evidence on the right hand side.
