Primary ECT here. I want to improve live marking to improve pupil feedback and cut down on my workload, but I'm unsure of the best way of doing it. Currently I circulate, marking as I go, but that doesn't always lead to the sort of 'deep' marking I like to do after school when I have time and quiet to actually think about what the pupils were writing. It also doesn't seem to be an effective way of getting around the class and marking most books.

At the start of the year I would get pupils to line up in front of my chair and mark in front of them, but I was told that the school doesn't like it when teachers do that.

Any tips on how to live mark more efficiently and effectively?
