Assessment Post-Mortems
Parents of Hardworking Teens
08/22/22 • 19 min
Once your teen’s completed an assessment, whether it’s an exam, essay or other type of assignment, is the tendency to just bury it and move onto the next item on the to-do list?
If so, they’re missing huge opportunities to develop their exam technique and build skills and understanding in how to achieve success criteria in the most efficient and effective ways.
WHAT WE COVER:
Why most students don’t want to do this, and why doing it will therefore put your teen at a huge advantage.
The one-word question to ask your teen (or they should ask themselves) about a completed assessment or exam question.
Real life ways I’ve taken students through assessment post-mortems, what we did and their feedback.

Posters and Print-Outs Don't Produce Skills
Parents of Hardworking Teens
06/24/24 • 10 min
Ep. 104 -
Rant warning!
I see various educational posters stuck up on classroom walls and study skills handouts folded in the back of students’ exercise books.
But they're almost NEVER being explicitly and intentionally taught the concepts, or trained in the skills and strategies printed on them.
In my opinion, this can actually be more detrimental than not having them at all.
Because students now think that they DO know and understand them and can effectively use or action them, when actually they are simply 'familiar' with them (rather than skilled IN them).

Turn Exams Into Your Teen's Greatest Strength

Ep. 116 -
Here's why I think exams should become your teen's GREATEST STRENGTH
(and what I'm doing to help make that a reality!):
1) Exams are the biggest source of stress and cause of anxiety in most teen's school life.
- If they can nail exams, their stress levels will be lower (and your household will be happier!) ;)
2) Exams usually count for the biggest % of an overall mark or grade.
- If they can nail exams, their results will go up. Significantly.
3) If they can 'do it' in exams, they can 'do it' in everything.
- Every other assessment, homework task, class project will be clearer, quicker and higher quality.
Listen in to discover the 3 reasons why focusing on making exams your teen's strength will not only:
- improve their marks
and - reduce their stress during exams,
but will also - elevate their confidence and performance across EVERY aspect of their study.

The Number ONE Shortcut to Exam Success

There are explicit teaching / direct instruction ways to teach subject content, and discovery / inquiry-based ways to teach subject content.
This also goes for the skills students need in order to effectively apply this subject knowledge, in the way the question demands and mark scheme requires.
However, I very rarely see any of this...
- how exams actually WORK - how they’re written and marked,
- HOW to actually analyse in an essay, in the right amount of detail,
- HOW to hit the top criteria, in the most succinct and effective way,
- HOW to actually dissect and then respond to the exact wording of any exam question,
- HOW to achieve more of the success descriptors,
... being explicitly or directly taught and trained.
And so students are left to 'discovery-learn' it all for themselves.
They’re guessing, trial and error-ing their way there, which, far from building confidence or resilience, for most, is denting and depleting it.
If we’re assessing students using these methods, then then getting direct teaching and explicit training in the skills, strategies and concepts is the number one shortcut to tackling them and performing in them confidently and successfully.
