SECTION MARK. PLAN. TEACH. Idea 3 Live-Marking
@TEACHERTOOLKIT ROSS MORRISON McGILL
SECTION MARK. PLAN. TEACH. Idea 4 Marking Code
@TEACHERTOOLKIT ROSS MORRISON McGILL
SNAPSHOT SNAPSHOT
Over the years, I’ve used live–marking – marking in lesson time with the student by my side – to embed formative assessment in my classroom and reduce the workload burden. SNAPSHOT SNAPSHOT
Ensure your students understand the key assessment points, then develop a simple marking code that works for both you and your students (and is in line with your school policy).
Corrections
Zonal feedback is a targeted approach to live–marking that ensures teachers and students focus on a specific area of the work.
❶ Choose just one area to mark. ❷ Draw a box around it. ❸ Mark it in detail but give no grade. ❹ Offer precise feedback (written or verbal).
Give students enough time to act on the feedback and check they’ve done it properly. Creating a dialogue
Use live–marking to put a greater emphasis on verbal dialogue that is scripted and targeted to help students improve their work. Try the question–suggestion–action approach.
❶ Frequency & speed
Build in regular opportunities for students to recap on work as part of your curriculum plan.
How often should I mark students’ work?
Question
Student response ❷
❸ A scripted response and a suggested action live in the classroom How quickly should I return it?
Reduces workload outside of lessons. Encourages diagnostic and precise feedback. Promotes dialogue for immediate student action.
4 The pros and cons of live-marking
Can only work with one student or small group at a time. Have to monitor level of detail to avoid spending too long on it. Curriculum coverage may suffer due to action on feedback.
#MarkPlanTeach www.TeacherToolkit.co.uk Professor John Hattie
[It is important] for the teacher to communicate the intentions of the lesson and the notions of what success means for these intentions.
Rank
Give students different pieces of work, asking them to rank them and identify why one is better than the other. Grade
Get students to grade each other’s work and identify the reasons why marks are secured or not. Spoof
Give students a ‘spoof’ or ‘mock’ assessment and ask them to assess their own performance against the success criteria.
Developing a marking code
Correct/good point/ well written. Incorrect/wrong point. Correct a spelling mistake.
Does not make sense or needs to be clearer.
Meaningful
Add a word. Start a new paragraph. Provide examples.
Manageable Motivating
A marking code will help feedback make sense and have demonstrable outcomes for you and your students. A good starting point for reducing workload is to keep marking codes as simple as possible.
www.TeacherToolkit.co.uk #MarkPlanTeach Motivating marking should help you engage students to make progress.
