Descriptive Feedback Project

Peter Kirkelos, Mike Reynolds, Christine Vesprini, Natalie Casale, Ben Roy, Alvira Pink

• 1. To better understand and implement
• ngoing descriptive feedback that is linked

to our success criteria in Literacy

• 2. We explored multiple feedback

strategies, both in reading and writing.

• 3. We also explored methods of keeping

track of the feedback provided to the students.

Purpose of our Project

https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=8NPzLBSBzPI https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=KdxEAt91D7k What success criteria or feedback might have been useful in these clips? (Mike)

Why do we need feedback?

(Natalie)

• 1. Model and chunk each part of the

Success Criteria

• 2. Success Criteria needs to work for

students

Key Learning from our Project

• 3. It is more efficient to use student work to

drive your instruction in the initial stages of a unit, when teaching the success criteria, rather than focusing on individual student feedback

• 4. Differentiate feedback for students
• 5. Check on students to see how they are

applying feedback

• Show students what each part means, what each part

looks like

• Go over students work samples to show them what each

part could look like

• Highlighting each success criteria in their work

(Ben)

Model and chunk each part of the Success Criteria

• 1. Show Grade 3 & 6 EQAO Reading Response Lesson

(Peter, Mike, Natalie, Alvira) (Carousel)

• 2. Mini-Lessons to chunk criteria: (Alvira & Ben)

• 3. Breaking Down Success Criteria: (Peter)

• 4. Interactive Pencil Activity (Peter)

Classroom Examples

(Christine) Should create it with the students, so that they understand it and it is in their language Students seem to prefer, and are more successful when the success criteria is more sequential (laying out how to communicate their thinking), in a step by step manner

Success Criteria needs to work for students

Talking about Success Criteria and Feedback: http://www.educreations.com/lesson/view/dissection- kate-and-jennifer/18095216/?s=1tAzjP&ref=link http://www.educreations.com/lesson/view/vinny- florent/16088924/?s=69jK2L&ref=link Feedback about Success Criteria: https://docs.google.com/a/hwdsb.on. ca/document/d/1Yih2T- f5jkv_wRBLbGAPk2G6eTE8n3kjxG0uS9-KpEU/edit https://docs.google.com/a/hwdsb.on. ca/document/d/192zVOJFv15uP-lS0BBDbHt7XkF- 3x1kRh00LrvFjEW4/edit

Examples

Students need to have the success criteria reinforced

• ver time
• Multiple opportunities to practice using the success

criteria ○ take a look at student work samples with success criteria & feedback (Christine)

• A lot of the next steps or needs are used as

formative assessment to plan the next lessons

• Students need several attempts at the

concepts/task to start understanding what they need to do

• Feedback could be limited to positive comments,

what students have done well Group Discussion

Initial Stages of unit: use student work to drive your instruction rather than focusing

• n individual student feedback

Ben

• written feedback

○ Google Docs feedback (Ben, Alvira) ○ post-it notes (Peter, Mike) ○ success criteria checklist (Ben, Alvira, Natalie)

• conferencing (Natalie, Peter)
• collaboration in groups (Alvira, Ben--math)

• Peer Feedback (Christine)

Differentiate feedback for students

Christine

(Christine, Alvira) Whether they understand the feedback (looking at the multiple opportunities given Feedback needs to be simple and relevant Feedback log helps students to focus their next steps https://docs.google.com/a/hwdsb.on. ca/document/d/1PzkWMIHvlGWQzIBOppfWg7Ef9 TPsfDx-dYzedIECYB4/edit

Check on students to see how they are applying feedback

• a feedback practice you have found

useful
