3. Effective Feedback
“Effective feedback not only tells students how they performed, but how to improve the next time they engage the task. Effective feedback is provided in such a timely manner that the next opportunity to perform the task is measured in seconds, not weeks or months.”
~ Douglas Reeves, p. 227

4. Essentials of Feedback
Recognition of the Desired Goal (expected understandings and/or performance
Evidence about Present Position (student’s current work or performance)
Some Understanding of a Way to Close the Gap Between the Two

5. Close the Gap with Oral Feedback
Affirm what is working & Support what needs additional work
Reflective Questioning - leads student to “how and what to think & do” without telling him/her
Explanation – ask student to explain how he/she arrived at the answer or conclusion
Cite Support by facts, examples, or resources – request that student provide support or further information to clarify thinking and understanding
Alternate strategy – teacher provides additional strategies or organizational frames to break down the learning as visual or linear form
Reteach in small group – use new strategies and/or materials for different outcomes
