Love how my maths group are showing me real understanding – focussing on variation and modelling has made big shifts. #ukedchat #maths

And perhaps developing homework challenges with their teachers to increase ownership

A5 I think my system takes me 30mins per week of my time, all marked with children in class time. And it is having an impact!#UKEdChat

SharonSmith_edu Jan 19 @ 3:46 PM EST

Why create marking? Make it self marking, Peer marked or group feedback exercise. You'll see evidence in their work. #ukedchat

A5. In humanities alevel subject marking homework is time consuming. Setting no, as they practice past exam questions and revise. #ukedchat

ukedchat - Moderator Jan 19 @ 3:46 PM EST

Do you get pupils to mark each others homework? #UKEdChat

It’s hard. You cannot physically give all the feedback and attention that the work demands #UKEdChat Surely?

In reply to @historytiglet

EnserMark Jan 19 @ 3:48 PM EST

feedback not marking - makes all the difference. We use homework in class. Doesn't need additional marking. #UKEdChat

no way. I get them to peer mark sample paragraphs etc. in class but essay feedback seems useful if time consuming. #ukedchat

No! lol, it needs doing though and as long as you use feed forward comments it's worth doing #ukedchat

A6. Students doing extra work and getting/exceeding their aspiration grade to go to first choice uni. Worth all the extra marking #ukedchat
