What is Pupil Self Evaluation?

What is Pupil Self Evaluation?

• It is looking at encouraging the children to
  become involved in their own learning, and
  identifying areas for development.

2
What does this involve?

• Four main areas
• Success Criteria
• Talking Partners
• Sharing Unit Coverage
• Evaluating Learning.

3
SUCCESS CRITERIA

• Is a list of ingredients for completing a piece
  of work, or a task.
• Success criteria is generally generated with the
  children, although the teacher will have in their
  mind what they want it to be.
• Success criteria is displayed throughout the
  lesson, and referred to in marking, feedback and
  subsequent sessions.
• Success criteria forms part of most lessons
  including core and foundation subjects.

Talking Partners

• Are randomly selected and they are changed on a
  three weekly basis (or twice in a half term
  depending on term length)
• In Key Stage 2 partners are selected for
  Literacy, Numeracy and Other Subjects, in Key
  Stage 1 the children keep the same partner for
  all subjects and change them every two weeks.
• Talking Partners are an integral part of most
  lessons, and the ownership of the lesson becomes
  more on the children sharing and discussing,
  rather than the teacher talking.

Sharing Unit Coverage

• Each term the Class look together at the main
  subject in their topic e.g. History this term.
• The teacher shares the objectives to be covered
  with the class, and finds out what the children
  already know, as well as asking them what they
  would like to find out.
• Questions are formulated and agreed with the
  class, and the planning is displayed in the
  classroom, and is referred to throughout the
  topic.

Sharing Unit Coverage

• One way of displaying the objectives to be
  covered could be through forming questions and
  displaying them on a washing line.
• (Year 4/5 Spring 2005)

10
Sharing Unit Coverage

• Alternatively you could display the actual
  planning in the centre of your topic display
  board, and give the children their own small
  copy.
• (Year 5/6 Spring 2005)

Peer Evaluation

• During some lessons the children are encouraged
  to mark each others work, against the lesson
  objective.
• This is done in a variety of ways throughout the
  school ranging from verbal comments and opinions
  in Key Stage 1, possibly with their Talking
  Partner, through to Writing Response Sheets in
  Year 5/6.
• When marking another pupils work the children
  will use the list of success criteria to identify
  successes, and suggest an area for improvement.
• Teachers plan in time for improvements to be
  made in follow up lessons.

Writing Response Sheet

• Evaluating The Explanation
• Success Criteria
• To write a super explanation I need to remember
  to
• Use a question for my title, with a question
  mark.
• Use an opening sentence to introduce what I am
  going to explain.
• Explain the process in time order.
• Use time connectives to link the stages of the
  process.
• Use some special words about the topic.
• Punctuate my work correctly.
•  
• Name
•         I would like to say well done because

•         I think you could improve your work by

Self Evaluation

• At times the children are asked to consider how
  well they feel they have worked against the
  specific lesson objective, and again feedback can
  take different forms throughout the school. In
  Class 2 we have the traffic light system, in
  Class 3 they use three trays. Higher up the
  school it may be written comments on how well
  they feel they have done, possibly against
  success criteria again.
