High Quality Feedback

Well done, Sarah! That is a good answer/piece of writing

• Good feedback, with praise

• Good feedback, because it is clearly mentioning the work is good

• Not a good feedback because the student does not know the next steps

• Not a good feedback because the student does not know what is good in it

Giving a mark or a grade is a good/bad feedback process

• BAD

  The entire focus of the student is on the grade only, and not the learning

• GOOD

  Students are motivated to score more and become determined to do better. Parents also understand marks better.

Teachers' views about feedback - Rank in order of what you think are the biggest concerns with feedback

• Pupils do not read the comments

• Pupils do not respond to the feedback given

• Students' typical response is

  "Yes, miss, I will be careful" or something similar

Has your feedback effectlively raised the attainment of your students? Have they improved due to your feedback or due to other reasons?

• Yes, my students read the feedback and it has helped improve their attainment

• No, they do not read the feedback and so attainment has not improved

• I am not sure if it is my feedback that raised attainment.

Feedback must be

• 1) embraced by students so they respond to it

• 2) Timely, crisp and clear

• 3) have next steps for improvement

• (1), (2) and (3)

• None of (1), (2), (3)

"Add more detail to your explanation" - Is this an effective/ineffective feedback comment

• Ineffective -

  Is vague as the student does not know what detail to add, and hence, an ineffective feedback

• Effective - It Is showing next steps for the student very clearly - more details must be given to the particular explanation

• I do not know

Feedback given - The errors have been circled or underlined with marking codes. Effective or ineffective?

• Effective - the student can not self-assess his mistakes and do the corrections (if he responds) or at least he sees the errors and is aware

• Feedback - Only focus on the negative, hence - Ineffective

• Not sure

I give stickers for good work and to motivate students

• All the time- Students love stickers and work hard for them

• Sometimes - it is not my main form of feedback.

• Never- I think it is totally ineffective

Agree/disagree?

• Agree

• Disagree

• it depends if they respond to it only
