Last chance for this!

Yesterday we published the latest results from our secondary writing assessment project. Over 50k KS3 students took part. Some of the Y9s have been taking part since they were in Y7, meaning we can show typical progress across KS3. (It's pretty good!)

Be still my beating heart! Dr Chris Wheadon and Daisy Christodoulou have developed an AI-enabled tool allowing you to record short verbal feedback on a piece of comparative judged writing. It then combines this with feedback from other teachers to produce a paragraph of written feedback.

Our next Comparative Judgement intro webinar is on Monday 3 February at 4pm. You can register for it here and also watch recordings of past webinars (under the previous tab). nomoremarking.com/events?country…

Our next Comparative Judgement intro webinar for Australian and NZ schools is on Tues 3 December, 4pm Sydney. You can register here for free and watch recordings of previous webinars under the "previous" tab. nomoremarking.com/events?country…

Today’s #ff #ffed is for Daisy Christodoulou I highly recommend teachers, SLT subscribe to The No More Marking Substack (free to subscribe to). The substack is about education, assessment, digital education technologies, etc, everything which teachers should be reading about.

This term we've been working with 40 schools on using Comparative Judgement to assess oracy. The first set of results are now out - you can read about them here. blog.nomoremarking.com/assessing-orac… We assessed students from Years 4 - 9 and the top score went to a Year 6!

Designing the perfect assessment by Daisy Christodoulou In addition to the traditional summative and formative she distinguish different types of *diagnostic* assessments, and pose the question of what are we really measuring and for what. open.substack.com/pub/daisychris…

One of our most popular posts is just over a year old - on the perennial debate between skills & knowledge and what we've learnt over the past 14 years. buff.ly/4fMzSD8

En route to Leipzig, I prepare for tonight’s big match by curling up with Daisy Christodoulou’s new book - universally hailed as THE definitive contribution to sport’s BIGGEST CONTROVERSY!!! (Comes complete with an introduction by podcasting’s Jonathan Wilson!)

Our next intro to Comparative Judgement webinar is Mon Feb 3 at 4pm. You get to do some judging of real Year 5 & Year 7 writing and find out how you can use CJ to assess and improve writing. buff.ly/3YzOgav

The deadline for our new AI assessment project is next Friday - the 28th. It's for Year 7s, it's free, and the AI will take most of the strain! Read more here. buff.ly/41goQl6

Incredible visit to Ark Soane Academy with Matt Burnage & Pritesh Raichura The culture of learning & norms of behaviour/routines were simple yet nuanced. Belief that everyone can achieve! What a privilege to experience the conditions created for students & teachers here. Gratitude 👏👏

Currently sat recording feedback for the Year 2 writing… 💬 GAME 👏🏼 CHANGER 👏🏼 Very excited about this update Daisy Christodoulou, Jeanette Breen and Dr Chris Wheadon 🤩

If you get the chance, take part in next week’s Dr Chris Wheadon Year Six Assessing Primary Writing marking. It’s some of the best CPD you’ll get all year: you get to see what Y6 kids write under exam conditions. Much better than moderating with a local school. Takes minutes to do.

Oh my just download the new reports from the year 2 😍love them! Dr Chris Wheadon Amazing! What a great idea! Daisy Christodoulou

Using AI to judge student writing 'has the potential to revolutionise assessment and decimate workload', say Daisy Christodoulou and Dr Chris Wheadon after their trail of the approach schoolsweek.co.uk/using-ai-to-ju…

If you have heard about our AI marking projects and are intrigued, then you can take part in one for free this summer and see if you agree with the AI. CJ Dynamo is our Y6 project. CJ Lightning for Y9. Places are free but limited, so sign up asap! nomoremarking.com/?countryCode=GB

Our next intro to Comparative Judgement webinar is after Easter - Weds 23rd, 4pm. Try out Comparative Judgement and see if you agree with the AI! nomoremarking.com/events?country…
