‘In times of change the learners will inherit the earth, while the knowers will find themselves beautifully equipped to
deal with a world that no longer exists’

Our children’s future
By the age of sixteen, the average pupil

In a changing world 5 dispositions are worth securing:
Resilience
Responsibility
Resourcefulness

Formative Assessment
FORMATIVE furthers learning How could I improve this? How could I better understand this?
SUMMATIVE determines what has been learnt I can………. I know that……..
Formative Assessment
Sharing Learning Goals Effective Questioning
Effective Feedback Pupil Self and Peer Evaluation
Formative Assessment
The active involvement of pupils in their own learning.
What do you do?
Pupil Perspective
Self and peer evaluation Talking partners Making decisions and choices Feeling confident to question, challenge, seek
help Being allowed to think about and articulate
ideas and opinions
Teacher Perspective
Involving pupils in initial planning Sharing learning goals Negotiating success criteria Planning questions which further learning Using strategies which maximise pupil thinking
and articulation
Teacher Perspective
Modelling ideas by using real examples Making evaluation and analysis of these
examples part of the lesson Using such assessments as models for pupils
analysing their own attempts Focussing feedback on success and
improvement against learning objectives
Teacher Perspective
Train pupils to make and suggest improvements
Make self and peer evaluation integral to lessons
Teacher Perspective
Not…..How can I fit all
this in?
But…..How can I think
the whole format of a lesson?
Learning Objectives
Success Criteria
Learning Objectives
Balance skills, concepts and knowledge with applications
The breakdown of long and short-term objectives needs to be planned and shared
Separate the content from the objectives Link success criteria with the objective
Taught specifics long & short term
Closed Skillsdirect speechusing a multiplication grid
Open Skillsdrawing conclusionsusing effective adjectives
Knowledgekey events of WWIIangles of a triangle=180
Conceptseffects of exerciseunderstand a healthy diet
Sharing unit coverage
Display coverage as: flip chart wall display A3 cards fixed sheets in pupil’s
books
Write coverage as: complete learning
objectives abbreviations questions mind maps with
vocabulary
