Pupils write their names on a post it and stick it under the outcome that best describes where they are at the start of the lesson (you can get a bit of congestion here as a whole class floods eagerly towards the board).
The progress wall is an extremely effective way to allow pupils to see the progress they are making throughout a lesson and gives a nice overview of where the whole class is at any given point. Pupils write their names on a post it and stick it under the outcome that best describes where they are at the start of the lesson (you can get a bit of congestion here as a whole class floods eagerly towards the board). When I first started using the wall I would find points in the lesson to invite pupils up to move their names but now they are used to it they will get up on their own and move their names as soon as they have hit the next target. If you can get them to put a dot on their post it each time they move it you will also be able to see who hasn’t moved. There are loads of other uses depending on what you want out of the class. I have used it in the past to decide on peer support groups, to direct depth of questioning, for pupils to use for self-assessment and to make an assessment on the class as a whole. Feedback from pupils is positive as they like being able to move their names along and see the progress they are making. A big plus is that you are able to show at any point in the lesson exactly where every pupil is and more importantly that they are all making progress.
