MICROSOFT FORMS COLLABORATION

Up and down the country staff are using the free Secondary Schemes of Learning from White
Rose Maths for KS3 and KS4 Mathematics. Several of the schools within the Trust also use this
scheme and a collaboration across the schools and beyond has happened via Twitter! In order to
support assessment in the age of remote education, several colleagues across the Trust have
been making the White Rose Maths end of topic assessments into self-marking MS Forms and
these have been shared between schools, a fantastic example of collaboration and reducing
workload.

These assessments, along with Check-Ins made by the Trust for each unit, have been made into
a padlet and shared on Twitter for teachers from other schools to use and contribute to. The
catalogue of resources is growing weekly and it has been a fantastic opportunity to provide an
‘excellent, caring and collaborative’ resource to support teachers and students.

You can find the padlet here White Rose Maths MS Forms The collaboration was praised on
Twitter, “This is amazing thank you for sharing this, I am encouraging my department to try your
check ins and might give assessments a go soon thanks”. The Check-Ins were featured in the
weekly blog by Jo Morgan along with other great suggestions, many of which would work across
all subjects: Resourceaholic: Tools for Online Lessons

You can find more resources and padlets on The Athelstan Trust Teaching and Learning page on

the website Teaching & Learning – The Athelstan Trust Within your subject, if you have made
resources that would be useful to share across the schools in the Trust and beyond, please get in
touch and we can add them to the website. If you would like to follow the updated Trust twitter
feed to find out more about what is going on across the Trust, then the handle is now
