EvidenceActionIndicatorAuthored teaching picture

Use the evidence cards and blank spaces to give your own response. Speak, point, draw, type or write.

Start here: a baseline is a starting count; an indicator checks progress. Card B gives a complete labelled practice example if local evidence is unavailable.

Evidence cards

Check the source and limit before using a detail

A Use local evidence first

The teacher supplies a dated, anonymised record of new sheets issued for one repeated classroom task. Label the task, period, group size and counting method. If no record is available, use card B as AUTHORED PRACTICE, not a fact about our school.

Source: Teacher-supplied evidence requirement; authored method

Limit: No real school count or Teesside claim is supplied in this pack.

B Practice before and after

AUTHORED PRACTICE: the same task uses 12 new sheets before a reuse tray and 8 during the trial, with the same group size. The difference is 4 fewer new sheets. These numbers are invented to practise comparison.

Source: Authored practice record, 21 September 2026

Limit: One trial does not prove the tray caused the change. Task difficulty, attendance or counting could differ in real use.

C Roles for a small action

AUTHORED PLAN: the adult checks permission and suitable paper. A tray monitor organises clean sheets. A recorder counts new sheets issued; a checker repeats the count. Agree a review date and rotate pupil roles. No names go in the shared record.

Source: Authored Community Project planning example

Limit: Pupils do not handle confidential paper, electrical equipment or household records.

D Check the contribution

Use the same task, group size and counting rule when comparing. An indicator is new sheets issued per repeated task; a proposed target is fewer than the baseline, not a promised result. Share an anonymised conclusion with the class and agree one next check.

Source: Authored indicator and review framework

Limit: A sheet count is not a CO2 measurement. Do not claim an emissions saving from these numbers.

1 Does one before-and-after comparison prove cause?

Help: Consider other changing factors.

2 What makes a target measurable?

Help: Name a quantity and period.

My response

3 How could a pupil contribute without handling private paper?

Help: Use the role plan.

My response

4 What would you report if the target was not met?

Help: Separate result from intention.

Shared investigation

Use the evidence; explain and check together

1. Build the practice chain: 12 new sheets before, a reuse-tray trial, then a count of 8 using the same task. Identify evidence, action and indicator.

2. Agree adult, monitor, recorder and checker roles. Explain one contribution and a review date; replace practice counts with checked local evidence if available.

Independent task

Link learning to local action with Community Project links.

1. Use the practice numbers or the teacher’s checked record and label which it is.

2. Choose one role and complete evidence, action and indicator boxes with a frame.

3. Independently explain your contribution and how another person can check it.

Help: Use highlighted evidence and the frame. An adult may read or scribe your own words.

Independent task

Standard

Link learning to local action with Community Project links.

1. Identify one manageable paper-use action from the supplied evidence.

2. Agree roles, baseline, counting rule, proposed target and review date.

3. Independently explain one contribution, its indicator and a limit on the conclusion.

Help: Use the cards and organiser. Choose your own evidence and explanation.

Link learning to local action with Community Project links.

1. Check whether baseline and trial conditions can be compared fairly.

2. Plan roles and a measurable indicator with an anonymised recording method.

3. Explain another factor that could change the result and how to check it.

4. Independently justify your contribution and the next action if the target is not met.

Help: Use the source limits and test a different priority or assumption.
