    AfL in 10 Days Challenge!

    • Categories Rahoo
    • Date April 27, 2018

    For those of you teachers who like to keep themselves on their toes, here is a challenge to float your boat.

    For 10 days, introduce a new Assessment for Learning strategy into your classroom practice.

    For those of you who like to take it a little bit easier, you can do this over a 10 week period by introducing one new strategy each week.

    Let us know how you get on!

    1. Make aims clear: Put lesson objectives on the board at the beginning of the lesson and talk to students about why they are studying what they are studying. 
    2. Set targets for the lesson: Make the lesson more purposeful for students by setting targets at the beginning about what you and the class are going to do.  
    3. Wait time: Allow at least 7 seconds to pass before you choose a student to answer a question. 
    4. No hands up: Pick students at random to answer questions. This encourages all students to participate and listen to each other.  
    5. Collaborative thinking: Brainstorm in pairs first for 2-3 minutes before answering question. 
    6. 2 Stars and a Wish: Allow the students to review their work in the lesson with two comments about what they have done well (stars) and one comment about something they could improve (wish).  
    7. Regular reviewing: Check the learning against the learning objective and agreed targets at least once during the lesson, and again at the end. This can be done simply by questioning. 
    8. Might: Introduce the word ‘might’ to questions to allow for the exploration of multiple answers and divergent thinking.  
    9. Effective Questioning: Plan your questions using Bloom’s Taxonomy to ensure HOT skills are being developed. 
    10. Recap: Build in time to reflect at the end of your lesson.
