One of the key members of this high performing team Ms Atchuthan – Lead Practitioner for Science. She led our Monday Magic Moment at the start of this week and shared her top tips for how she smartly marks students’ work and targets those ‘problem questions’ with well-prepared resources to assist students to plug the gaps in their learning and make rapid progress.

Ms Atchuthanreminded staff to only mark what is meaningful or directly contributes to students making progress and to also engage in that constant ongoing dialogue of good feedback, measuring progress and further feedback.

Often it is the specifically targeted practice questions that help students gain the best results and she again highlighted this aspect of her pedagogy.

It made for a great start to the second week of our first Marking and Feedback Fortnight of the academic year.
