LAST ACADEMIC YEAR

1. I marked the work

2. I had a half-term break

3. My students got best results in the county!

● Students REMEMBER feedback when given quickly. ● Only timely marked work can effectively inform

planning of the next lesson● Saves Teacher time ● Provides hard data ● No formulae knowledge needed● Ensures all classes cover critical knowledge

You can mark their work in-lesson or before the kettle boils at break time.
