Focus on.... Art
Ideas from a very creative subject
Year 9 - 10 hour programme of study and personal checklists.
Mr Harrison has been working on what the Art department are calling 'personal checklists'. These show students their final piece progress and provide an opportunity for two way dialogue and teacher feedback. Speaking to the students showed that not only they were using these but also saw the benefits of starting lessons this way. Pupils also set their own learning targets each lesson, developing their essential time management skills as well as setting challenging goals.
The teacher also checks student work, makes targets, stamps their work and gives verbal feedback to each student individually.
