Essay writing rubric
silvestertimsilvestertim

Essay writing rubric

(0)
This rubric is designed for use by all subjects where essay writing skills are required. It can be used for self assessment, or as a quick diagnostic tool for a teacher to evaluate strengths and weaknesses and help students to identify personal targets for improvement. The rubric is linked with the new GCSE grading structure to map progression from Age 11 to 16. The rubric also allows for subjects to compare performance of a student in a cross curricular manner, and therefore to ensure a cohesive and consistent approach in terms of assessment and feedback.

Maths: 12 Foundation Statistics and Number assignments

(0)
This is a series of 12 Foundation homework or revision assignments. They are designed to be used in conjunction with my excel, 'Monitoring' document which allows for all results from the Statistics, Pure and Geometry series to be recorded. These foundation papers are aimed at low to middle ability students. The set can alternatively be purchased to include both Foundation and Higher (for middle to high ability students) versions. They are designed for the new GCSE specification in the UK, and would suit any students within the same age range in other countries. This first series focuses on Statistics and Number. They are easy to mark and provide excellent feedback (the monitoring document allows for results in key topic areas to be analysed, as well as progression as students improve their knowledge and understanding. These assignments have led to sustained improvement of Mathematics results in the College in which the author teaches with students excelling at every ability range.
