Differentiation This scheme has been designed to encourage pupils to become independent computational thinkers Lessons are differentiated by task and outcome and this is reflected in the learning objectives and lesson activities. Each lesson will involve the pupils working independently, and in some cases in group work activities. The teacher can apply their own professional judgement on which groups of pupils to help in a particular lesson. All home learning activities include extension tasks designed to stretch all pupils particularly the most able. Assessing Progress Each unit has a mark sheet that the pupils can keep in their work folders. It is recommended that each pupil has a work folder in which to put their printed work, handouts, mark sheets and homework they have completed. The mark sheet has been mapped to the Computing Progression Pathway document to ensure it accurately reflects the KS3 Computing curriculum. The first page provides learning statement that have been written to provide the pupils with the opportunity to reflect on their progress and identify the level they are working at and what they are aiming for. The second page gives the teacher the opportunity to record detailed feedback on particular pieces of work and the pupil the opportunity to respond to and teacher comments and comment on pieces of work they felt went well or any areas where they may improve. Work can be teacher, self or peer assessed and recorded on the mark sheet. Marking codes can be adapted for your particular institution. 11
Recording and Tracking Marks You will already have systems at your institution to record and track pupil progress so a mark book system has not been included with these resources. However, I do have an automated Excel mark book system available for free if you require it. Email contact@heatonmoordigital.co.uk 12
