***MODELLING***
Fantastic work from @MissCole279 this week leading our teaching and practice CPD labs 😊

“The only thing that matters with feedback is the reaction of the recipient. That’s it. Feedback —no matter how well designed— that the student does not act upon is a waste of time." Dylan Wiliam (2017)
Students often need prompts, reminders & guidance to reflect & respond to the feedback they receive. This Feedback book mark is one example, it can be adapted for different subjects, ages & key stages.
As we head into End of Year exams season, it's worth revisiting a helpful technique: annotating exam questions.
There's a growing body of evidence supporting its effectiveness. Here are some ways I use annotating along with some recent evidence.
