Improve Teacher Assessed Grades
3 - Provide Evidence
Teacher Observations
Teachers could use contributions to class discussions as evidence of engagement.
Make it easy for teachers to remember that you engaged with their lesson by speaking up and answering questions.
Bed is NOT the best place for remote learning.
Actively participate in lessons
To demonstrate active engagement, you also need to do the following:
Show Up!
Teachers prefer their students to have their cameras ON. It reassures them that students are engaging with their lesson.
Being able to see a student’s attentive face is an interaction in and of itself. So even if many of your peers have their cameras off, make sure that yours is on.
Remove Distractions
Remove all distractions, such as your phone, or any apps/tabs unrelated to your lesson. This will help you to be more present during your lesson. Your teacher will notice which students are distracted by their surroundings.
Pre-Learn
If you know a particular topic is being taught, try to ‘pre-learn’ it beforehand.
Watch a video or read up on the subject before the lesson. It will help you better understand and engage with what is being taught.
Relax away from screens
It’s tempting to spend downtime in front of screens. Having participated in remote lessons all day, try to have some time away from screens.
This won’t provide the school will evidence of achievement, but it will help your general well-being, posture and mental health, all of which have a positive impact on grades.
