Best printed 4 per page of A4. Useful for student self assessment and also provide quick feedback for the teacher. Great for evidence for work scrutinies / lesson observations. Use these in conjunction with the ideas of science and ideas about science. I have found having a selection of various exit passes preprinted means I always have the right one at the right time!

Best printed 4 per page of A4. Useful for student self assessment and also provide quick feedback for the teacher. Great for evidence for work scrutinies / lesson observations. This is based on the SOLO taxonomy system and encourages students to consider the outcomes for their learning. Great for metacognition. I have found having a selection of various exit passes preprinted means I always have the right one at the right time!

I use these slides to encourage the students to self-evaluate their feedback. As a result students produce far better quality review of their assessed feedback. Can be combined with other slide resources.

WIKI - What I know Initially - encourages students to scaffold their prior learning before adding new knowledge either during or at the end of a lesson. Has been used successfully with Y7-Y13. WIKI - Teach - What I Know I teach - encourages students to scaffold information before they use it to teach another student or student - also includes space for peer assessment. Used very successfully with Y7-13 and staff!. Adapted Cornell note sheet. Uses the Cornell design but has been adapted to encourage deeper level of thinking - in particular the left hand column scaffolds metacognition. Again used with Y7-13.

These can be printed at A3 size and placed around the room. In addition I print 2 per A4 page and then students stick on the reverse of their exercise books. Using these codes has saved me around 70% of my marking time - better quality feedback but for far less time - win win!!

QED = Quality Efficiency Demonstrable (my own term!). This was a presentation I used to encourage staff to consider the 3 key issues when designing assessment strategies for students. Basically - all resources and strategies should always ensure quality feedback to the learners. All must ensure efficiency and whenever possible reduce current work load rather than add to it. Finally, as monitoring is always an aspect of our role as teachers, the resources and strategies should provide demonstrable evidence of quality feedback to a third party, be that Middle leaders, SLT or OFSTED.

Best printed double sided on A3 paper. This resource contain 2 versions. These can be used to compare students' initial knowledge with their final understanding. Have been used with Y7-13.

Use these slides to scaffold students' use of mindmapping to consider level of learning. Growth mindset expandabubble (my own name!) is used to show the importance of effort etc to achieve success and what happens if complacency sets in. Processing image is used to encourage students to use various strategies to process (and consequently learn) information, i.e. reduction, expansion, transformation etc.

Use this resource to encourage students to set and evaluate targets. Has been used with all age ranges.

This is a scaffold for providing students with regular no-stakes testing of their Physics glossaries. As such it is best used in conjunction with the GCSE Physics AQA Glossaries. It is best printed A3 size; 2 per page and back to back. It also includes my own marking system codes to allow students to fully analyse their own performance. To reduce the stakes to zero then results should not be collected. This allows students to maximise their long term retention. I have use this type of resource with great effect at KS3, 4 and 5 with small adaptations to suit the relevant glossaries. Excellent method for developing long term retention.

This is a scaffold that can be stuck into students' books. Whenever they have a spelling mistake that needs correcting it can then be written into the appropriate box. I always provide the correct version in purple ink - hence the purple spelling bee!
