Beyond Triple Impact Marking - making marking meaningful, manageable and motivating again!

Just 45 per cent of primary and 44 per cent of secondary teachers have had a review of marking in their school (NEU teachers’ union, 2018 survey)

Discover a range of ideas informed by research that can be used immediately for the benefit of both teachers and their students, to ensure that pupils achieve the highest outcomes.

This course is designed for staff at schools who already understand the benefits of effective marking and feedback who are looking to move away from unhelpful and time-consuming marking processes and return the focus to improving pupil outcomes through feedback.

Course Outline

Expert guide to marking & feedback strategies

• Current feedback and marking climate, including Ofsted’s & ISI’s perspective
• What are the issues with Triple Impact Marking and how to move to a more meaningful practice?
• The research behind ‘effective’ feedback and how to translate this into practice
• Changing the mindset behind marking
• Integrating assessment into teachers planning

A practical toolkit of feedback strategies to improve performance

• Techniques for oral feedback designed to benefit the pupils
• Ideas for gathering feedback during lessons
• Strategies for how to respond to feedback within lessons, including how to effectively differentiate for all learners
