KS3 DT Assessment for Learning 2nd Edn + PowerPoints

KS3 Assessment for Learning 2nd edition (2008 Criteria)

Includes an introduction to AfL and a detailed guide on how to implement AfL in your school. Plus examples of AfL and a series of generic worksheets covering each stage of the design process (Research, Product Analysis, Specification, Ideas Generation, Presentation Drawing, Development of Solution, Production Plan and Evaluation).

It has definitely raised the bar for ensuring AfL is taught in a standardised way...

What do teachers say about this resource? (2903)

Very comprehensive... Excellent use of exemplar material presented in a logical format for each target level... Clearly outlines what pupils' work needs to contain to attain any given level. Allows pupils to peer assess & self assess their work... Credit is due to the author.

A Pyszkowski, Teacher & Peer Reviewer

An excellent resource, we are all using this already and it is helping students to develop knowledge on levels. It details the things students need to do to reach levels and hit assessment targets – easy and quick to mark.

H Allison, Teacher & Peer Reviewer

Saves a lot of work... The pupils can understand wording. Worksheets are provided in A3 and A4 format... Pupils understand levels and can evaluate their work... Broken down into sample sections.

B Smith, Teacher & Peer Reviewer

Clear explanations of the criteria with exemplar work for the different levels addressed in each worksheet.

J Smith, Teacher & Peer Reviewer

A great idea on how to assess and enable pupils to self assess their work.

I particularly liked the examples of different levels of Design Proposals, Evaluation & Production Plans.
