Teaching toolkit
Diagnostic circuit
Use stations as a diagnostic course: each station tests one subskill with self-assessment. At the end, learners and teachers know exactly where the gaps are, providing a basis for targeted support.
How the method works
- 1
Define the subskills for the topic and create a short diagnostic task for each station.
- 2
Learners move through the stations and assess each one themselves right away (traffic-light rating on the worksheet).
- 3
Review: Everyone identifies their own areas to work on and chooses suitable practice materials.
- 4
The teacher reviews the traffic-light sheets and plans support groups for the following lessons.
Material
- Assessment cards
- Self-assessment
- Assessment rubric
You can find free, ready-made worksheets for the work phase in the TeachPie Marketplace , sorted by subject and grade, in three levels.
Common pitfalls in practice
- Don't present diagnosis as grading
Variants
- Before and after: repeating the same course at the end of the series makes learning progress visible.
- Digital self-tests at each station with instant results.
In TeachPie, the planning AI suggests Diagnostic circuit automatically when it fits the phase, timing, and class, including ready-to-use materials.
