Welcome to www.effectivemarking.co.uk
PM Gordon Brown is fascinated by all the speciific behaviour reward stickers this child has earnt!
Marking children’s work is a core part of working life for any good teacher. It can seem endless, stretching well into evenings and weekends. When a teacher is behind with marking he/she feels a constant sense of pressure. And does it make any difference?
Yes. It does. Marking is one of the most crucial forms of assessment around. It is when we can really show children that we value their efforts, it is when we can judge our own effectiveness as teachers, it is when we can make strategic decisions about the next steps children need to make. More than all that, it is a rare opportunity to have an individual dialogue with every child. Marking should not be seen as a chore, but in that context- the context of every child. Because ever child does matter – and always has. Marking children’s work is all about the teacher responding to the individual and gaining knowledge of that individual.
We want to show you how we do that, whilst reducing the time spent on marking and making it something you enjoy.

Statement re: unauthorised use of the site
If another teacher/school has given you the password for this site then you are using it without permission. The subscription to the site is very cheap.
By using the site without paying you:
-take advantage of the hard work people have put in, out of school hours, to creating and maintaining it
-deny the small financial benefits to the charity we support and Woodberry Down Primary School
When we discover someone has used the site without paying we will:
-write to the Chair of Governors of the school concerned requesting disciplinary action is taken
-write to the LA
-take other action as required
It is highly regrettable that we have had to write this statement at all.
