Teacher Excel Markbook

(10)
This excel spreadsheet can be used to record student's grades. Using a 1-10 system you can record their marks and it will automatically average the grade. If you enter J, K or L in capitals (which is converted into a smiley face) in the effort column it will also average their effort grade. This provides formative feedback and allows progress to be monitored. This is a concept and could easily be adapted for specific use, i.e. Assessment without levels, BTEC etc.

Assessment - Spelling Correction Worksheet

(0)
Used as part of a department's formative assessment strategy this worksheet allows teachers or peers to identify up to six words that a student has misspelled. (Any more and multiples sheets can be used.) The 'marker' writes the words in the space provided before issuing to the pupil, who then copy out the correct spelling five times. The sheet can then be stuck into an exercise book to evidence teacher assessment, student progress etc. Printing the sheets onto a coloured paper i.e. green for assessment. This makes them more impactful.

Diamond ranking, class monitoring / analysis

(7)
Description: An AfL document that allows teachers to monitor a pupil progress over the duration of a lesson, topic or term. Objective: Allows you to monitor a whole class. You can make a comparison between students utilising the diamond ranking system. This could be put on the back of a lesson plan, or put on the board. Assessment: I use the circles to put the initials of students in, or if I am monitoring boys’ behaviour or effort in relation to girls, colours can also be useful. Expectations: This can be used for continuing assessment of a multitude of things.
