How can TurningPoint improve my lessons?
Better than a voting system TurningPoint is better than a voting system because it allows teachers to skip the “translation of assessment data” step and get everyone “on the same page” instantly. Using TurningPoint teachers can ask a question and amend the rest of their lesson structure based on who understands or doesn’t understand what. With a tailored lesson, pupils will inevitably catch on quicker, which helps achieve the goals of personalised learning. TurningPoint supports individualised learning TurningPoint lets every single pupil in the room have their learning needs individually tested and assessed without fear of embarrassment or influence from their peers. It will digest and report their answers back to you in formats that support "assessment for learning" principles. You can then use this information when guiding pupils, grouping them or planning future activities, lessons and revision classes. Your pupils will benefit from the personalised reports that they can take home to help them with self-assessment. Encourages inclusion of all pupils in every lesson Old-fashioned informal assessment as a “show of hands” isn’t practical for measuring all pupils at the same time, because manual counting becomes more difficult as group sizes grow and pupils have a tendency to copy each other, especially if a sensitive subject is being discussed. Because of TurningPoint’s handheld response approach there is “nowhere to hide” so teachers can gain comprehensive, specific, tangible information about what pupils know. Integrates with the ‘four-part-lesson’ Multiple-choice questions make perfect starter and plenary activities. TurningPoint slides takes just seconds to make, so you can use them on a regular basis in your lessons. When it comes to the plenary section, TurningPoint can re-ask earlier questions and highlight the variations in responses the second time around, helping the teacher and pupils to visualise the key learning gains. Prepares reports so you can use them for assessment and planning When you feed assessment data back into lesson planning, you need to remember how individuals have performed. This can be difficult as you may have hundreds of pupils to assess across different classes during the week. TurningPoint's report wizard captures and stores assessment data as the lesson progresses. Visual and written reports designed for teachers or pupils are available during the lesson ready to implement immediately or you can keep them to look at long after the lesson is over. “Using TurningPoint in the classroom allowed every single pupil to have their understanding individually assessed and the lesson objectives were adjusted immediately to their specific needs. Pupils who required intervention were identified and individual help was then targeted towards them. This is an excellent Assessment for Learning tool."
