4. Influences on achievement Decreased Enhanced Zero 1200+ meta-analysis 70,000 studies, and ¼ billion students

8. A model of Feedback: 3 feedback questions Where am I going? How am I going? Where to next?

9. Where am I going? Specifying Success criteria  Knowing where you are now  Goldilocks Challenge  Knowing where you are aiming Feedback then relates to reaching success on the learning intentions i.e., reducing the gap NOW TARGET

10. How am I going? Providing feedback relative to the success criteria  Where along the progression

11. Where to next?  enhanced challenges  more self-regulation over the learning process  different strategies and processes to work on the tasks

12. What is feedback?

13. What do teachers say... 1.comments - give comments on the way you are doing something 2.clarification - answering student questions in class 3.criticism - when you are given constructive criticism 4.confirmation - when you are told you are doing it right 5.content development – asking about the content 6.constructive reflection - giving someone positive and constructive reflections on their work 7.correction - showing what you did right or wrong, it helps you; 8.cons and pros - Someone telling the pros and cons on your work; 9.commentary - when they comment on my work 10.criterion – relative to a standard

15. Answering the 3 Feedback questions ….. At four Levels a.Task (correct/ incorrect) b.Process (identify error, provide another strategy) c.Self-regulation / conceptual (error management, set self standards) d.Self (praise, effort)

16. What have we learnt Teachers provide much feedback Students receive little feedback Most feedback stays at task level It is more about how much feedback students receive, and About how much feedback teachers receive about their impact

17. Know thy impact 1.Role of assessment as feedback for teachers 2.Power of classroom discussion to “hear” the impact of teaching 3.Increasing the number of student “impact questions” 4.Classroom observation to understand teacher impact on student learning 5.Creating discussions about learning not teaching
