Managing workload through marking policies – Alexander Cooke, remote learning lead

Alexander Cooke, secondary school English teacher and remote learning lead for Shavington High School, explains how Shavington has been promoting the use of technology in their marking policy to help make the process as efficient as possible, in order to reduce teacher workload without reducing the quality of feedback. Marking requirements are limited to specific assignments and can take the form most suitable to the subject and assignment in question, often including the use of the rubric function in Teams. Features such as comment banks allow teachers to get the right messages to the right pupils, without requiring them to duplicate work.
