Product no: EG0001
 
This is a pack of resources designed to support Assessment for Learning in the new AQA 9-1 GCSE Engineering.
 
This resource presents an approach that has been proven in classrooms to raise attainment. It breaks down the NEA criteria into a series of easy to understand statements in pupil friendly language. It supports both self assessment and peer assessment, thus enabling students to identify their own areas for improvement.
 
It can also be used to support teachers in understanding and applying the assessment criteria for GCSE 9-1 Engineering. It has been developed from an approach used for the previous GCSE Engineering course; this was developed by a former senior examiner and applied in his own classroom with great success, typically improving value added by more than one grade.
