Code-based marking

Some Year 10 work

WWW: You’ve identified parts of Taunton that fit the core and frame model.

EBI: You needed to explain why each image represents the model. For example why are bus stations found in the frame of the CBD?Don’t forget to use capitals for place names.

Could you describe some other examples of typical land use in the frame apart from the bus station?

The image needed a title.

Make sure that place names have capital letters.

Read through your work and add your own comments.Record your mark and think about how you can improve your work on your assessment record sheet.

Investigating Taunton’s CBD

This image is not representative of the zone you are describing.

You needed to explain in more detail why this image represents the zone.

These criteria change with the task

Standard codes

Code-based marking: How it works…

1. Scan through a few examples of work and pick up on the main errors / areas for improvement.

2. Edit a standard marking code PPT slide.

3. Mark work with symbols and your usual shorthand codes.

4. Return work to students. Get them to decrypt the codes used (2 minutes)

5. Show the marking codes. Students write comments on their own work.

6. DIRT time. (Directed Improvement and Reflection time)

7. Students record their grade / level on their own assessment record sheet along with one main target for improvement.

Code-based marking…

Saves time / reduces workload

Students UNDERSTAND feedback

Students HAVE to respond to feedback

Allows students time to ACT on feedback before moving on. (A single question designed to move them on is a useful strategy)

Advantages

SpG

Could you list some other examples of typical land use in the frame apart from the bus station?

C

Ideally, include one question to move student on

I would like to acknowledge the education bloggers Alex Quigley, Tom Sherrington and Joe Kirby on whose work

the presentation is entirely based.
