Discussion question · 10 marks
As a CP coordinator, you observe that a student is consistently scoring well on the 'description' elements of their Reflective Project but failing to access the higher marks associated with 'evaluation'. Drawing on your understanding of command words and assessment objectives, design a specific, actionable intervention plan that you would implement with this student. How would you adjust your feedback to specifically target the cognitive gap, and how might you use the IB mark scheme to guide this student toward a more analytical approach without doing the work for them? Provide a specific example of the feedback you would provide and how you would measure the success of this intervention over the next two weeks of their drafting process.
