Assessment for Learning
Posted by Damian Hayes on November 23rd, 2006
As a department we’re trying to get our assessments standardised for Standard Grade. We’re also trying to get a set mark scheme for each one in ‘pupil speak’ so that we can mark simply by ticking what the students have done and circling what they haven’t. This way the students have direct feedback on what they need to do. Increasingly this means that after an assessment we have a conversation on what they didn’t do- they write in their target for next time, and then they correct their paper immediately to show that they know what was wrong.
