Learning grids help students to focus on the content and language learning outcomes of a unit and to monitor their own progress. They also provide immediate feedback to teachers on student learning, enabling teachers to plan teaching to meet the students' identified learning needs.
Teachers prepare a grid which lists the content and language outcomes of a unit or work. At the start of the unit or work the students tick the boxes beside the items they know/ can do, they then discuss with a partner the outcomes they have not ticked. This is repeated during the unit and at the end of the unit. The teacher can use the responses to inform the next teaching and learning steps.
