Modelling Quality

Opportunities

These opportunities can include:

• Encouraging learners to listen to the range of learners' responses to questions;
• Showing learners the learning strategies;
• Showing learners how the assessment criteria have been met in some examples of work from others not known to the learners;
• Encouraging learners to review examples from anonymous learners that do not meet the assessment criteria, in order to suggest the next steps to meeting the assessment criteria; using examples of work from other learners in the class highlighting the ways it meets the assessment criteria or standards.

Good Classroom Practice

Good practice is noted in UK classrooms by OFSTED inspectors. Good teachers often summarise a lesson by telling pupils what they have learnt. But equally pupils can tell each other what they have learnt at home or in school, at the start or at the end of a lesson too.

Language of assessment is often too complex for pupils. To see good practice of assessment language translated for pupils visit www.kented.org.uk/school-effectiveness/Documents/dandt-nc-targets-sec.doc
