Planning & Preparation for my Review

I need to know things about me…

• How I learn best – my “Learning-to-Learn” Skills

• My current grade or level for each subject I study

• My target grades

• My position in the Year Group – (PI)

• My E/O/B level for each of my subjects

• My Effort & Behaviour AB or CD

• My Homework/Independent Learning AB or CD

What do the grades and numbers mean?The following slides will give you more information…

Current Grade / Level

• This is a measure of my current performance

• It will be a GCSE grade (eg A or D)

• It might be a level(eg 5a or 6b)

• This is based on coursework, classwork, homework and any exam practices.

The Measure E/O/B• This tells me if my current progress is on track

to finally get my target grade

• For example. I might be getting Grade D in English now. The teacher agrees that I am on track to get my Grade C target in the final exam. I am On Target.

• E/O/B are abbreviations for:

• Exceeding my target grade• On my target grade• Below my target grade

Other measures I can use to talk about myself

• Effort & Behaviour grades• Homework (Independent Learning)

grade• My PI – the position in the Year Group

• Here is a sheet giving you all the “descriptors” for a grade:

A reminder of what the grades mean

Effort & Behaviour Homework / Independent Learning

Grade AI always work to the best of my ability. I always seek to make a special contribution to lessons and my behaviour is excellent. As a result of my contributions the learning of the group is advanced.

Grade A•I value homework highly and frequently show individual research.•I complete all my work on time and to the highest standard. •Because of this my homework moves my learning forward.

Grade BI always work to the best of my ability and my behaviour is excellent and focussed on learning.

Grade B•I think homework is important and occasionally show individual research and development•I always complete homework on time and to a good standard.•Because of this my learning is being advanced through homework.

Grade CI sometimes work to the best of my ability. I need to make a more consistent effort if I am to progress. My behaviour does not always support my learning.

Grade C•I do not value homework enough and rarely show original research or development.•Occasionally I do not complete it on time or to a reasonable standard•Because of this I am damaging some of my learning chances.

Grade DI am not working to the best of my abilityMy behaviour is not always good and I sometimes slow my own learning and the learning of other students in the group.

Grade D•My behaviours show that I do not value homework and usually don’t meet the minimum requirements.•Often work is not completed or handed in on time.•Because of this I am damaging lots of my learning.

What is the structure of my review?See the next slide

Explain what information is available about me – for examplewhat the grades and abbreviations mean

Explain what I am most pleased about – and how this has happened – describe my Learning Skills.

Discuss any differences between my current performance andmy target grades

Agree three SMART targets that will allow me toimprove my performance

Agree with my Learning Coach and Parent / Carerhow they can help me to achieve these targets.

So what do I needto do next?

I now need to prepareso that I am ready for my Review!

1. I will need to understand what skills I use to make me successful.

2. I will need to be familiar with my 6 areas of information (Grades, Targets etc) .

3. I will need to suggest 3 learning goals4. I will need to rehearse what I am going to

say.

Learning Coach Sessions

• I can use these over the next few weeks to prepare

• I can also use these to practice and rehearse what I am going to say at my Review!

Coaching Group Exercise• John Richardshaw has just received his

Interim Review Sheet.

• What key things should John mention in his Review?

• What do the letters & numbers mean on his Report? Can you clearly explain them to a partner?

• What goals might John have about his learning?
