Greater Brighton Metropolitan College

Assessment & the Art of Lazy Teaching

  • Thank you so much for a brilliant session. I have been telling my HoD about you so, hopefully the College will be in touch!
  • Enlightening – good ideas to assess students’ learning. Good to implement these strategies.
  • Lots I had never heard of. Was great!
  • Road to improvement. I am open to trying new ideas to bridge students – formative feedback. This session was brilliant!
  • [I need to] Try to employ methods which are more collaborative for the learners.
  • It definitely got us all discussing different points.
  • Light bulb moments!
  • [I need to] Read the 50 ‘tips’ and try some per week (2-3) and reflect on what works and for what groups.
  • Very much enjoyed this session. Very practical. Great team bonding. I can see me using these ideas in class.
  • Sun coming out.
  • Looking at strategies that emphasise collaborative learning.
  • Engaged. Killer questions.
  • Thank you for making CPD interesting!
  • Very much so. As a new(ish) teacher, any new strategies for teaching and broadening the way in which I teach and the way in which my learners process the information is welcome.
  • [I need to] Employ more of the formative assessment techniques to improve learner engagement and understanding.
  • Empowering. Good reflection time.
  • I have been introduced to a large range of different ways to incorporate formative assessment into my lessons.
  • It certainly did [make me think differently] and in a very engaging and discussion-provoking way. It has helped me to see how a variety of activities can be used to embed assessment at all stages of learning.
  • Very well planned session and valuable resources.
  • Identifying more assessment strategies in creative ways.
  • [I need to] Encourage students to be more motivated to enhance their own learning, developing independent strategies.
  • Lots of ideas to develop existing strategies and introduce some new ones.
  • [I need to] Take the time to plan more complex (but beneficial) assessment strategies into the SoW.
  • Active. Made me more aware of other possible ways of teaching/assessing, getting students to access.
  • Changing Room!
  • Some excellent new strategies. Will reflect on ‘learning outcomes’ and refer to [web]site.

Equality and diversity

  • Thought provoking. Just turned the binoculars around!!
  • Start with what I want to achieve BEFORE I plan what I will do!
  • Extremely useful, thank you.
  • Mind expanding.
  • Take time out to think before doing.
  • Crossed the carpet, feeling different by the other side.
  • Super empowering.
  • Give learners the confidence and vocabulary to bring out their opinions.
  • Interesting and daunting.

Supercharged Evaluation Skills

  • With tentative, smart steps I’ve been taken from the side of the stage to performing music in front of an audience.
  • Walking through a dark rainforest and into a sunlit clearing.
  • Exciting/inspiring. I will be thinking of how I can encompass colours more into my teaching.
  • It has given me a lot of ideas of how to support my students.
  • Given my role as an intermediary between tutors and students, this will help me to produce better and more effective materials.
  • Developing evaluative practice through peer reviews/self assessment using this approach.
  • Thank you. Really helpful – lots of good practice to share.
  • You learn something new every day.
  • [I need to] Send time doing exercises that encourage evaluation, and expanding language used (glossary).
  • Enjoyable and enlightening. Will use this myself.
  • I will spend more time developing vocabulary and assignment skills in the first few weeks.
  • Confirming and supportive, but also improving.
  • A rising sun.
  • It was very effective in providing tools and techniques to encourage learners to reflect ‘in colour’ on their learning experiences.
  • A walk along a beach with the warm sand on my feet and a warm breeze through my hair.
  • [I’m going to] Start term with a live Google doc. Students add glossary terms to doc. New students nominated each week to add terms into colour-coded chart. Great session, thank you.
