Intelligent Marking For History Teaching And Learning

Intelligent Marking For History Teaching And Learning,Dame Nike Free Run Blå Sko

Ie heard plenty of comment that marking is overrated as a teaching tool. We waste hours making comments that students do not bother to read. If it true it may be because we are not marking in the most helpful way,Nike Air Presto LE Navy Red Shoes, or failing properly to structure the work we set or the process of handing it back. I am convinced that for student historians individual work is key and that good routines for reviewing it are essential.

First we need to be clear what skill the piece of writing is intended to develop. ake notes on pages 20-23?is hardly a history task and your comments will almost certainly be worthless. Instead,MBT Fora Gtx Schuhe DaMänner Rosa, set your students to se pages 20-23 to answer this question, ow did the Nazis use the SA to intimidate their opponents??Find and explain as many ways as you can.?Tell them that you are interested not only in how well they understand the text but also how they organise their response into paragraphs and how well they explain rather than describe. Now your comments have a clear purpose. Your students will want to know how well they have done at each element of the task.

Second,Nike Air Max 90 Sort Hvid Sko, mark positively and informatively. If you continually tell your students they are good historians,Nike Free 3.0 V2 Sort Grøn Sko, remarkably enough, they start to behave like good historians. My rule is to give full marks unless I can see a good reason not to. Then ?and this is key ?I have to explain exactly why I have taken marks off. Now the student can understand exactly what was missing. ? good?is mystifying. ? good. You separated your points well but needed to explain them more fully?is worth reading. The very best practice is always to add a target. ? good. You separated your points well. T: Explain more fully the significance of each point.?Make a note of targets in your mark book (develop a shorthand code to save time.) Now your student not only knows what to do next time, but knows you will check to see they are progressing,Christian Louboutin chaussures en satin Corneille 100mmLivraison gratuite pour vous, discuss it with them and make an informed comment in their report.

Third,Billige Online Herre Nike Free 3.0 v2 sort grå Sko, set good time aside for handing work back. Make notes for yourself as you mark and feed back to the class your overview. Now your students are looking intelligently to see how they have measured up. Issue them with a grid,Dame Nike Free 5.0 V4 løbesko Grå Pink, or get them to make one in the back of their book or file. In it they record not only their mark but also the target you have set. Now they can monitor their own progress. Give them time to fill it in every time you hand work back.

These points apply whatever the marking policy of your school or department. Obviously a good marking policy helps. For exam classes you need to explain and use exam marks schemes from the start. At KS3 there nothing wrong with marks out of 10 or 20 if your comments are constructive and targets monitored. But it is not difficult to come up with better. Adding a grade for effort is good because you can reward those who try hard without having to compromise on your assessment of skill. Working out a system of skills levels and issuing a grid explaining what different marks signify can be helpful but only if it is clearly tailored to history and if it does not leave student stuck at the same level for too long. The best system is a grid of specific history skills (comprehension,Mbt Flamme White schwarz WoMänners Walking-Schuh, sequencing, analysis of cause and so on) with progressive steps for each one. This gives a clear sense of progression within each skill ?and you have to be clear which skill you are assessing for each piece of work - but prevents the drawback with cross-curricular National Curriculum levels,Billige Online Herre Nike Free 3.0 v2 hvid rød sorte sko, which is that students simply end up getting the same broad level week after week.

The last thought is the simplest. Red pen is officious and puts distance between you and your students. Mark in pencil. Youl be surprised how much students prefer it. 相关的主题文章:
