This scaffolding was necessary because younger students are not sufficiently skilled at structuring evidence of their learning. At A level we encourage much more independence to prepare students for the next step in life by removing this scaffolding. The result is a blank workbook we call a &#8220;structured learning record&#8221; (SLR) that students need to complete.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"brz-css-dxa7ds brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-rich-text brz-rich-text__custom brz-css-1xg53qs\" data-brz-custom-id=\"amalvuwjzjykjzzytjhsdchchvwkcvgdrjvd\">\n<div data-brz-translate-text=\"1\">\n<h2 class=\"brz-tp-lg-heading2 brz-css-hIUzq\" data-uniq-id=\"wzdbr\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-ywkpb\"><span class=\"brz-cp-color7\">SLR &#8211; An evolution of workbooks<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"brz-css-dxa7ds brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-rich-text brz-rich-text__custom brz-css-1xg53qs\" data-brz-custom-id=\"gqooftyhpwhupxfarkdsufskavkyerkojtbv\">\n<div data-brz-translate-text=\"1\">\n<p class=\"brz-tp-lg-paragraph brz-css-nJhki\" data-uniq-id=\"nvtns\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-mftcn\"><span class=\"brz-cp-color7\">An SLR is a record of what a student has learned in a topic.

We call a completed activity an \u201casset\u201d. Students should choose which assets to copy into their SLR, together with additional notes and illustrations to answer the key question, providing evidence of their learning. Additional slides can easily be added to add more content to the SLR. Being selective and distilling information is a higher order learning skill, ideal for A level and preparing students for life skills beyond school.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"brz-css-dxa7ds brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-rich-text brz-rich-text__custom brz-css-1xg53qs\" data-brz-custom-id=\"mwvmkpgvwmtsingczbkxzhjfgnhtedcxmrza\">\n<div data-brz-translate-text=\"1\">\n<p class=\"brz-tp-lg-paragraph brz-css-rJ27E\" data-uniq-id=\"xuxug\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-yhpkp\"><span class=\"brz-cp-color7\">A completed page of the SLR shoud not be a simplistic answer to the key question, but instead a detailed response.

Objects on one slide don\u2019t interfere with another. There is no pagination to worry about. Alignment tools work very well, and students can easily add text, images and animations. PowerPoint is the application that gives you the least hassle when editing! As a bonus, it is easy to project individual slides to students too, both from the blank SLR, and a student\u2019s response. It is incredibly easy with this format for students to present their work to others.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"brz-css-dxa7ds brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-rich-text brz-rich-text__custom brz-css-1xg53qs\" data-brz-custom-id=\"eddvomviljfbrgewsrudstgydxpwhzpfocyw\">\n<div data-brz-translate-text=\"1\">\n<h2 class=\"brz-tp-lg-heading2 brz-css-dklj9\" data-uniq-id=\"seuml\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-shtjs\"><span class=\"brz-cp-color7\">Assessment<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"brz-css-dxa7ds brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-rich-text brz-rich-text__custom brz-css-1xg53qs\" data-brz-custom-id=\"rzcmluyirrzlowwmuriddcebvroeyzkvbimw\">\n<div data-brz-translate-text=\"1\">\n<p class=\"brz-tp-lg-paragraph brz-css-g5_Ip\" data-uniq-id=\"pbcqw\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-mjdbc\"><span class=\"brz-cp-color7\">Instead of marking individual micro-activities, instead mark the SLR each student produces instead. Each SLR has a set of minimum expectations and can be marked against breadth, depth, presentation and understanding. With boxes for teachers to record a comment and students to record a response. The SLRs are fully editable so you can adapt this to your school context. The final page provides a handy revision checklist for students.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-uniq-id=\"pbcqw\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-mjdbc\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/craigndave.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SLR5-slide-4.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-uniq-id=\"pbcqw\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-mjdbc\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"brz-css-dxa7ds brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-rich-text brz-rich-text__custom brz-css-1xg53qs\" data-brz-custom-id=\"amalvuwjzjykjzzytjhsdchchvwkcvgdrjvd\">\n<div data-brz-translate-text=\"1\">\n<div id=\"\" class=\"brz-css-dxa7ds brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-rich-text brz-rich-text__custom brz-css-1xg53qs\" data-brz-custom-id=\"myffehngqjjgptkwalgugagpdzxpqoromuta\">\n<div data-brz-translate-text=\"1\">\n<h2 class=\"brz-tp-lg-heading2 brz-css-bGcxL\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-clfwy\" data-uniq-id=\"udfcr\"><span class=\"brz-cp-color7\">A4 and A3<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"brz-css-dxa7ds brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-rich-text brz-rich-text__custom brz-css-1xg53qs\" data-brz-custom-id=\"wqzlovujdgufbeujaphwjvozbfxpmszqcogm\">\n<div data-brz-translate-text=\"1\">\n<p class=\"brz-tp-lg-paragraph brz-css-flUJV\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-wlshg\" data-uniq-id=\"jebnf\"><span class=\"brz-cp-color7\">For students who would prefer complete freedom in how they present their work we also provide A3 versions of the SLR that do not contain the key questions. This offers students the least amount of scaffolding. Teachers should direct students to which version they would like students to use. We recommend that all students start with the A4 version in year 12 to transition from GCSE workbooks. In year 13 they could use the A3 versions to prepare for University.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At GCSE we provide students with workbooks to capture their learning.
