2. Revision, Study and Feedback... Based on the feedback we received from last session, we have dedicated this session to revision. This was raised because of the importance of testing and examinations in the senior school but also links closely to the demands on middle school students. Helping students become metacognitive at any year level is the goal.

3. Student Feedback Ways to gather student feedback? Exit Slips Surveys (See the learning intervention Word document in this folder. It was created by BGA) On Demand Testing/Spa, etc. See the GWSC wiki for more information about how to access this data. Questions to ask ▫What type of information do you want? ▫What do you do with this information? ▫What sort of learner are they? http://quizilla.teennick.com/quizzes/7073446/what-type-of- learner-are-you-extreamly-accurate-results-will-help-you- learn-in-lifehttp://quizilla.teennick.com/quizzes/7073446/what-type-of- learner-are-you-extreamly-accurate-results-will-help-you- learn-in-life
