The Assessment Waterfall @ St Monica's - Luke Donnelly
One of the tools we have used to break open the Assessment Waterfall is Bump it Up Walls. Bump it Up Walls show a progression of learning in a certain subject or focus and include Learning Intentions and Success Criteria. Teacher and students use these walls for Descriptive Feedback, Peer and Self Assessment and for Individual Goal Setting. Here are some examples of the Bump it Up Walls in our school and what some of our Year 3's had to say about their use.
