AfL takes place where?

Inside and outside the classroom – students use of PLC’s outside the classroom inform the teacher of where to go inside the classroom.

Sam Sheedy, 2013.

Discuss What is a PLC?

Two types of PLC

A Personalised Learning Checklist is a tool for students and teachers to monitor and track where their learning is at.

Two types of PLC:

1. Based on skills that students need to learn throughout the A Level.

2. Based on the knowledge/ learning objectives that students need to learn.

The idea behind a PLC

The PLC is a process.

It is about Diagnosis - Using the Themes and Elements of the Programme of Study as a Checklist both to teach against and to track the progress of each individual student

It is about Therapy - Using the PLC as a Resource to improve student know-how

It is about Testing - Using the PLC to test know how and confirm understanding

It is about linking this work through the use of the Compelling Scoreboard

How useful are they to the students?

Over to Theo and Yasmin!

A few examples

History- these are my own and is based on a few of the modules of the AS and A2 specification this is knowledge based.

English- this was designed by Jon and Jo based on a PiXl model which, they have made better and is skills based.

English KS4 based on UMS and levels towards obtaining the next grade.

Chemistry – PLC for students and teachers to track towards ALPs grade.

Maths KS4 compelling scoreboard/PLC to show to students and to track where students are at.

Business and Finance- these are compelling scoreboards that allow students and teachers to track their progress against points.

Now have a go- try to create a PLC for a unit/ module at either KS4/ KS5.
