Live Marking in action!
It was great to hear from one of our specialist Geography teachers at the start of this week in our Monday Magic Moment at Staff Briefing. Outlining his strategies (tailored to Key Stage 3 and 4 students) used to effectively live mark in the classroom, Mr Mitchell showed the clear benefits to both students and staff with his smart ‘real-time approach’.
Staff were really impressed and are hoping to see him in action over the next two weeks as we all take part in our third Marking and Feedback fortnight of the academic year. Our ‘Selfie Showcase Board’ is filling up with willing practitioners offering all colleagues the chance to visit classrooms across the school during the next two weeks to see the power of live marking in action.
