1. Ysgol Rhiwabon Effective Feedback

2. SMART At Ysgol Rhiwabon we have a particular way in marking students work and providing feedback. This is known in school as SMART.

3. This sheet is shared with all students in school. This ensures all students know how they will be feed back to and also what they need to focus upon to improve their work.

4. 1. You will complete a piece of classwork or homework using the success criteria developed in class. 3. Time will be given in lessons for you to reflect on targets and actions. Use a PURPLE pen to improve your work. The different coloured pen will help you and your teacher to see where you have made progress in your learning. 4. Once you have completed the piece of work during SMART you will then make a comment explaining what progress you think you have made since improving the work. 2. The piece of work will be marked by your teacher. Two stars and an action will be recorded. You will be told clearly HOW to improve. Think about these questions when completing the progress comment on the SMART marking sheet. Did you follow the advice given? What have you learnt from it? Would you approach this activity differently next time because of what you have learnt? Could you use skills developed here in another subject. Give examples. HS 19/4/16

5. Ensure that time is given to allow students opportunities to allow students to improve their work. Effective SMART TIME Feedback to students on the SMART marking sheets telling them HOW to make improvements. Give students SMART opportunities at least once a fortnight for core subjects and once every 6/7 lessons for non core subjects. It can be 5 minutes - 30 minutes depending on how you plan to allow them to act on your feedback Allow pupils to use PURPLE pens to evidence where they have made improvements or completed SMART. Planning should incorporate appropriate, regular time for SMART. Students will also write a progress comment on their work. This will give valuable time to reflect about HOW they have made improvements and the next steps in their learning. You will then go back to mark the piece of work they have improved to check progress. Student Marking And Reflection Time HS 19/4/16
