RAG123 marking experiment

An account of a teacher's decision to RAG123 mark students' books. This means the students rate themselves on a scale of 1-3 for effort each lesson and Green Amber or Red for their meeting of the success criteria for the lesson.

The teacher then marks their work and gives their own RAG123. This has led to some good dialogue between student and teacher and this might be a relatively painless way for this to happen.

Food for thought.
