1. Red:
“I didn’t really understand this work, and I
think it shows in my answer. I am lacking
confidence here!”
Amber:
“I am OK about this work. I know there
are things I have done well, and I know
there are things I need to improve.”
Green:
“I felt really confident about this work!
The majority of it was OK and I am to
ready to know my next steps.”
2. Pros Cons
• Students able to self-
assess their work
• Teacher can quickly
identify how pupils feel
about their performance
• Mark the books that need
our attention first
• Students can monitor how
they feel over period of
time
• Staff can monitor how
students feel over period
of time
• Clear and simple – easily
accessible and understood
by all
• Will always get that one
student who never moves
from the red tray!
• Not practical for all pieces
of work (e.g. books to be
marked for the last two
weeks)
• Still need to be aware of
Pupil Premium students
• Being told students aren’t
feeling confident, but not
knowing why.
Solutions:
• We can identify the
students who need the
confidence boost
• We can train our
students to recognise
different means of
assessment
• We can return the
books in the trays also
– do self and teacher
assessment match?
