John Hattie—reviewed 7,827 studies on learning and instruction. …reported that providing students with specific information about their standing in terms of particular objectives increased their achievement by 37 percentile points.
How do you provide feedback in a way that students • Know what they are learning and how well the are progressing • Can explain what they need to do to get better. Rubrics
Rubrics • What are they? • Scoring Guides that explain levels of performance • Potentially, they focus students on “the learning” • Use in conjunction with checklists, when appropriate
Rubrics • How can they help students learn? Feedback should be corrective. Feedback should be specific to a criterion. What is the focus of the criteria?
What is the focus of the criteria? • All sections of the brochure are complete and handed in on time, and optional sections were included.
