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.
