Assessment Post-Mortems

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.
