Making Good Progress? Or not?

OK, I'll admit that was blatant click bait (or a social experiment if you prefer). Over the last few days I have been publishing my thoughts on Daisy Christodoulo's book "Making Good Progress?" In the spirit of AfL, I have actually done more of an analysis than a summative review. However, noticed that engagements with these analyses were far lower than for other posts, despite the apparent popularity of the book.

So the test was this: which link would get the most clicks and from whom (results soon)?

- the "book analysis" link with no grade?
- the one giving the book a D grade?
- the one giving the book 5 stars?

I imagine that the love/hate links will prove to be most popular. I wonder if this links back to our natural desire for summative feedback (indeed this is one area which is a constant battle with kids when giving formative feedback).

You will note that I have kept the headings deliberately ambiguous: 5 stars out of how many? And D as in GCSE or as in BTEC Distinction? This was very deliberate.

Anyway, if you'd like my actual thoughts please follow the link HERE
