Feedback Strategies and Content • Focus • Comparison • Function • Valence • Clarity • Specificity • Tone • Timing • Amount • Mode • Audience
Feedback Strategies and Contentactivity • Thinking about the way(s) you give feedback in your classroom • Do you think about feedback in terms of the strategies you use to provide it and the content of your message? • List three ways the ideas in chart 1.1 and 1.2 might impact your approach to feedback. • Share your thoughts with your partner.
Feedback and Grading ..if a paper is returned with both a grade and a comment, many students will pay attention to the grade and ignore the comment. The grade “trumps” the comment; the student will read a comment that the teacher intended to be descriptive as an explanation of the grade. Descriptive comments have the best chance of being read as descriptive if they are not accompanied by a grade”
Feedback and Gradingactivity • Look at the examples of student work. • Discuss the feedback given on the samples. • In these examples, do you think students have opportunities to use the feedback to improve future work? • Discuss as a group how you might be able to add more “practice” work in your class for learning and feedback only. • Share your insights with the large group.
Practice • Reflect on the things you discussed today • Read chapter two for next time
