Feedback
Definition:
Students receive (from both teacher and peers) verbal and/or written guidance throughout their learning journey to support progress toward a clearly defined goal
Best Practice
- Timely, frequent, and specific to the learning objective
- Allows students time to reflect, redo, and improve their understanding
- Specific and actionable to allow for immediate understanding and application
- Feedback is personalized to each student’s learning needs
Examples:
Verbal Feedback: Teacher to Student: 1:1 conferences, on-the-spot coaching, teacher-led feedback stations
Student to Student: Peer critique protocols, turn-and-talk with prompts, small group discussions
Written Feedback: Teacher to Student: Single-point rubrics, LMS-embedded comments, annotated digital work;
Student to Student: Peer review forms, collaborative doc comments, feedback journals
Student Self-Assessment: Reflection checklists, goal-setting trackers, self-scoring with rubrics
