It’s based on a constructivist approach to learning . . .
We have to help children to construct their own learning. . .
We can’t learn it for them!

Why Learning Intentions?Why Learning Intentions?
The first ‘active’ element of formative assessment in the classroom is the sharing of learning intentions with children . . . Without the learning
intention, children are merely victims of the teacher’s whim.
Unlocking Formative Assessment Shirley Clarke, 2001

the activity
They are:They are:
* linked to the learning intention

* discussed and agreed with children before they begin the activity
* used as the basis for feedback and self/peer assessment

Characteristics of Formative Feedback
the desired goal
some understanding of how to close the gap
• Feedback should provide:
evidence on where they are now
Formative FeedbackFormative Feedback• Is timely• Relates to the focus of the learning• Identifies where success has occurred• Identifies where and how improvement can take place how• Allows time for improvement• Is accessible to the pupil
Types of FeedbackTypes of FeedbackOral Feedback Written Feedback
• During the lesson/activity After the task• Personal and immediate Comments only• Interactive (two-way)
• Workshop -Workshop -FeedbackFeedback
A Strategy for Written A Strategy for Written FeedbackFeedback• Find 2 successes against the success criteria
• Find the part of the work that has most scope for an immediate ‘jump’ (not simply the worst part)
• Write a short prompt telling the child exactly what to do to this part of their work
• Provide time for them to read, process and respond to your prompt
St. Patrick’s P S – video clip
Next steps-formative feedbackNext steps-formative feedback
• Choose an activity eg literacy writing • Focus on one group of children at a time• Any verbal feedback during lesson should
be focussed on learning intention and success criteria
• Give immediate specific written feedback related to L I SC
• Give pupils time to make improvements

Reflecting about LearningReflecting about Learning
Self-assessment:Self-assessment: reflecting on WHAT has
been learnt•Children use success criteria to assess their own work prior to the teacher marking it
Self-evaluation:Self-evaluation: reflecting on HOW they are learning understanding themselves as learners
• Children use self-evaluation questions to prompt reflection during short plenary sessions
Self Evaluation Questions• What really made you think/did you
find difficult while you were learning to..? (quote learning intention)
• What helped you( e.g. a friend, the teacher, new equipment, a book, your own thinking) when something got tricky about learning to….?
• What do you need more help with about learning to?
• What are you most pleased with about learning to…
• What have you learnt that is new about …(quote learning intention)?
• How would you change this activity for another group/class who were learning to….?
Next Steps-Reflecting on the Next Steps-Reflecting on the LearningLearning
• Establish structures and routines to enable reflection
• Model the process• Plan for reflection time• Make it purposeful
Dylan Wiliam-Video on
Questioning
Questioning• Research has shown that a
question is asked every 72 seconds
• 38% of the questions are answered by the teachers
• Only 8% encourage pupils to talk and think
Questioning strategiesQuestioning strategies
•Prior noticePrior notice

• Try no hands upTry no hands up
•Use ‘think – pair – share’Use ‘think – pair – share’
•Plan for children to ask a questionPlan for children to ask a question

NextNext steps-Questioningsteps-Questioning• As a staff reflect on using
questioning to deepen understanding and enhance participation
• Research and develop understanding – eg. Bloom’s taxonomy
• Consider pupil led questioning
