Bobby Dazzler Ideas

For each topic, teachers enter the numbers 0, 1, 2 or 3 for each skill, and the students get their printed rubric stapled to the front of their test.  The tests are written so teachers can rate these skills at a glance, after correction. 

This year all Year 7-10 students receive feedback in this form alone, rather than scores or percentages. 

This has actually been found to motivate students to open their test & reflect on their results (made explicit when each test is handed back), rather than simply reading a score (24/35) or a grade (B+), comparing with their friends, and never looking at the test again. 

Students are able to focus on personal improvement and progress.

The impact of core values

Söderporten school, Norrköping

The school is extremely multi-cultural, with most children having recently arrived in the country and speaking Swedish as a second language.

Our Core Values have helped to:

Achieve in 2010 the best exam results since the national grading system was introduced in Sweden in 1997

The school´s video surveillance is being switched off in autumn 2010
