Feedback
Principle 1
: Feedback supports and promotes effective learning.
Principle 2
: Feedback is a continuous process
Principle 3
: Feedback needs to be suited to individual students’ needs
Importance of feedback
To encourage and motivate
To point out and correct mistakes
To re-explain key concepts
To recognise and reward good work and ‘behaviours’ that are desirable
To notice and penalise poor work and discouraged behaviours
To suggest further reading
To extend and deepen thinking
A good feedback is honest, timely, specific, personal, balanced, in harmony with the grade, prioritised, respectful, kind and encouraging and links to the criteria.
Reporting
Digital portfolios or ePortfolios are useful tools for enabling learners to maintain a permanent record of their learning journey and they provide practitioners with a readily accessible record of the learner’s self-assessments and reflections on their learning strategies.
A digital portfolio is a carefully crafted presentation of a student’s learning journey using digital artefacts as evidence of learning. It has a clear purpose and is well organised. It both develops and demonstrates learning through effective student reflection. The learner uses the higher order metacognitive skills to consider what they learned and self-assess what they need to focus on next to progress their learning. Digital artefacts can be derived from learning activities across all learning domains. An effective digital portfolio can be used to celebrate achievement, demonstrate progress through comparison over time and guide future learning.
The production of a digital portfolio encourages a partnership between students and their teachers and increased student ownership and accountability for their own learning. A digital portfolio provides students, their parents and teachers with a rich record of learning. A digital portfolio is not a collection of all student tasks, but careful selections that demonstrate growth and new knowledge such as two artifacts that show progression in learning over time.
Authentic Assessment
A form of assessment in which students are asked to perform real-world tasks that demonstrate meaningful application of essential knowledge and skills.
An authentic assessment usually includes a task for students to perform and a rubric by which their performance on the task will be evaluated.
Grading
Taking the Holistic approach the marker starts by reading the whole piece and giving an overall, based on a holistic impression, before then going on to do a more detailed analysis against the marking scheme. Seeking to clearly explain and justify the holistic grade in the process.
Alternatively adopting an Analytical approach you start with a more itemized implementation of the marking scheme. Perhaps awarding marks for each part of the answer according to a marking scheme or against each given criteria. Finally totting up the separate marks and seeing if the resultant overall mark feels right.
