Introducing Live Marking and Feedback CPD presentation
‘Live marking and feedback’ is the idea of marking or giving feedback on students’ work ‘in the moment’ - which cognitive science research tells us is incredibly effective in moving learning forward and addressing misconceptions before they become embedded.
This presentation takes staff through the rationale behind it, the practicalities in its implementation, and the different ways it can be done.
We have introduced it and in addition to helping our students make greater learning gains, it has reduced staff workload dramatically.
This policy is for forward thinking schools who are looking to introduce evidence-informed practices into their school environment, benefiting students and staff alike.
This was something that was really well received when it was presented and live marking and feedback continues to go form strength to strength as more practitioners begin to see its value when done well.
