Beyond Triple Impact Marking - making marking meaningful, manageable and motivating again!

Just 45 per cent of primary and 44 per cent of secondary teachers have had a review of marking in their school (NEU teachers’ union, 2018 survey)

Discover a range of ideas informed by research that can be used immediately for the benefit of both teachers and their students, to ensure that pupils achieve the highest outcomes.

This course is designed for staff at schools who already understand the benefits of effective marking and feedback who are looking to move away from unhelpful and time-consuming marking processes and return the focus to improving pupil outcomes through feedback.
