Why?

Students need to be able to articulate their learning and in doing so my have a better chance of retrieving this learning later.

• All teachers will have the knowledge and skills to write challenging Progress Indicators that stretch each learner.
• Progress Indicators are linked to effective and clear feedback to students.

How?

The best progress indicators will provide clarity about what the learning will look like.

Teachers will have the autonomy to decide the sequence of progress indicators and when they need to be revisited. This will be based on your assessment of their learning.

If it is a knowledge rich lesson, the prefixes ‘To know that…’ work well

If it is a skills based lesson, the prefix ‘To be able to…’ works well

Progress Indicators are effective when they can be referred to at any point in the lesson. To aid this you might:

• Have them on each slide • Have them animated to enter before the slide moves to the next one
• Type them in the Split Outcome and Syllabus Frame available from the ‘tools’ button on the Teacher Toolkit
• Write them up on a whiteboard in class
• Have them book ended in slides at the beginning and end of your PowerPoint
