Marking, Feedback and Guidance
MARKING, FEEDBACK and GUIDANCE focuses on furthering the child's learning. It should:
Rationale
- refocus or redirect the teacher's or learner's actions to achieve the learning outcome
- Support and provide a record of progress
- Be specific accurate and clear
- Encourage effort
- Be meaningful for the child
- Give specific guidance on how to improve,
- NOT TELL THEM WHAT THEY HAVE DONE
Feedback should be given in 3 ways (in decreasing order of importance):
- Immediate feedback – 'spot' marking at the point of teaching
- Summary feedback – at the end of a lesson/task
- Review feedback – away from the point of teaching (incl. written comments)
✓ Make the Key Question specific (something that can be achieved in the lesson to show progress) and link to NC objectives.
