Looking closer . . . Setting Learning Goals and Providing Feedback
Debrief • Introduction • Instruction • Implementation • Closure Morning Session – Setting Learning Goals
Please reflect on the following question in your PLC Notebook or Online Journal. Setting Learning Goals How do I let students know what they are supposed to learn in lessons or units?
Should goal setting focus on BIG IDEAS? • Intensive instruction means teach less more thoroughly. • If you don’t know what is important, everything is important. • If everything is important, you will try to do everything. • If you do everything, you won’t have time to figure out what is important.

Teachers Setting Learning Goals Process of establishing a direction for learning Learning goals narrow what students focus on Goals should not be ACTIVITY based; they should be LEARNING based
Setting Learning Goals Learning goals need to be specific, but should not be too specific. "Just right" goals are specific, but flexible
Learning Activity vs. Learning Goal • Learning goals are concrete and measurable. • The skills the students should take away as a result of the lesson/unit. • Learning activities are the lessons and things the students will be doing to practice the skill in order to achieve the learning goal.
Communicating Learning Goals to Students • Write the learning goals on the board • Prepare a written handout • Syllabus • Provide learning goals orally • Bulletin boards • Question of the Day • Essential Question

Afternoon Session – Providing Feedback • Debrief • Introduction • Instruction • Implementation • Closure
Feedback that focuses on what needs to be done can encourage all to believe that they can improve. Black et al (2003)
Providing Feedback Please reflect on the following question in your PLC Notebook or Online Journal. Think of a time when feedback made a difference in your learning. What did the feedback look like?
Feedback Through Grading http://teachfind.com/secondary-assessment-formative-assessment Segment (4:45-8:00) While watching this video, think about your own grading practices. How much information do you give to students about what they need to improve when grading their work?
Providing Feedback: Corrective Feedback should be corrective Provide students with an explanation of what they are doing that is correct and what they are doing that is not correct Can be student-to-student (PALS) Can be reflective
Providing Feedback: Testing Different ways of giving feedback on “test-like events” have varied impacts on learning Small Gains Providing them with the correct answer Big Gains Providing students with an explanation as to what is right and what is wrong with their answers Allowing them to repeat the task (retake test) until they can succeed Loss Telling students if answer is right or wrong (simply telling them their score)
Providing Feedback: Timely Feedback should be timely Feedback that occurs immediately after a test has the greatest effect on achievement Feedback that occurs immediately after a test item has the least effect on achievement In assessment situations, Immediately after assessment +++ Delayed after assessment ++ Immediately after an item in assessment -
Providing Feedback: Specific Feedback should be specific to a criterion Reference a specific level of skill or knowledge Need to provide feedback on what students have learned about the content rather than how they stand relative to others or what grade they received
Providing Feedback: Activity At your tables, you have five different formative assessments. Discuss and record with your group members the following: • Which of the CITW feedback goals is this formative assessment addressing? • How is it assessing students? • What could it be used for? Record your answers in your PLC journal!
