These are differentiated target setting sheets based on the NC Levels. They have been broken up into these 3 Level tiers, as
students tend to work mostly at one level, with occasional dips below and occasional boosts above.
How to use:
1. Copy the relevant sheet for each student (even within setted groups more than one sheet will be needed)
3. Ask them to tick off or highlight all the skills they can do independently
4. I prefer to formalise the setting of three SMART targets in a five minute solo consultation between student and teacher;
these targets should be written onto their sheet and a date for review agreed (you can make a copy in mark books or separate
target setting book) – there are second and third target setting boxes on the sheet so the process can be repeated during the
year without a second sheet being used
5. As students complete work, they should be encouraged to self-assess in relation to these targets (What I’m Looking For…)
Targets and progress should be reviewed about every three months, or every term.
