SK - Home Learning KO

Quick reminder:

1. Ensure as the subject teacher you have highlighted what part of

the KO you wish the students in your class to focus on each week

and informed your class.

2. Explain how you will check and test the knowledge that they have

learnt so that they understand your expectations.

3. You need to have an allocated slot in your lesson, following your

HL KO deadline (use the school HL timetable to guide you), to

check the home learning. Please set a teacher detention if the HL

has not been completed to standard.

4. The guidance issued advises that students should complete 1

written page per subject per week, spending approximately 30

minutes per subject. This may vary according to the student.

5. Tutors are checking for completion of subjects per evening;

subject teachers are checking for quality and understanding.

KPS - Differentiation Strategies

● Get students to RAG their confidence after your explanation

before starting the main task.

● To do this, they simply open their planners to the relevant colour

and place it on their desk.

● Support any RED students early with the task to ensure they are

clear on what to do.

● Try to push your GREEN students on to the extension material.

● GREEN students may also be paired up with RED students to

help further their abilities in communication and explanation of

concepts.

● Try to build up a picture of how accurate your students are over

time.

Next Steps1. I MUST read the feedback from my

teacher carefully.2. I need to complete my Reflection sheet in

purple pen. (WWW and EBI boxes) I must ensure that I have selected a clear target for reflection

3. I need to use the highlighter to select an area to re-draft.

4. I need to re-draft the selected area in purple pen.

5. After completing my re-draft, I will highlight where I have improved my response/answer.

Extra Challenge 1. Ask your teacher for a further exam

question to further embed your knowledge and skill.

2. Independently research the topic area and note or attach your findings under your improved answer.

3. Use the following questions to challenge your understanding on the topic, your teacher will give you some suggestions to complete these starter sentences.

What evidence can you find...?How would you prove...?How would you prioritise...?

NCK - KS3 Portfolios - Assessment

“One of the most frustrating things I’ve experienced in my years of

teaching is being told to ‘mark students’ work’ or ‘give feedback’ with

no guidance or parameters for what that actually means.”

● Consistent approach - every student’s experience is the same.

● Progressive tasks - starting point, mid point and summative for

each scheme.

● The only thing staff are required to mark.

● Criteria is lifted directly from the 1-9 grid (life after levels) so links

to GCSE AOs.

● Criteria is always the same so students get used to the language.

● Students to fill in their next steps on the same sheet and have

space to the write their improvement.

PPH - Smart Evaluation Preparation

● Create a template like the one below to use for note-taking from

textbooks - making clear links to textbook subheadings

● Spend time on the big picture understanding

● Limit the amount of evidence to be used

● Insist on points from both sides of the argument

● Get pairs to agree on a mini-conclusion

● Extending pupils - work in teams to ensure the overall conclusion

reflects the mini-conclusions found through the plan.
