Feedback in science can be very helpful for students. It is a challenge to get them to read and apply the feedback, so I give them points for responding to the feedback I give on each assignment. - Paul

In ELA classes, feedback is key function when it comes to improving student's essay writing skills. In the drafting process through peer editing and teacher comments, constructive feedback will help students be confident in their writing strengths, as well as focus on the areas where they can become even better.

1. Quality feedback consists of straight answered responses that are easily understood. It is important to use encouraging language coupled with any criticism to avoid discouragement of student.

3.) Normalizing opportunities for students to read each others work and give constructive feedback. Leaving room for error and growth. Remind my students that writing is a learning process and it may not always be easy.

Feedback is important because being exact is vital when it comes to math. For students to move on to the next lesson, they need to be able to grasp an understanding of the content. When students receive feedback, then they are able to revise and understand what they did wrong and learn from their mistakes.

1. Feedback will play a part in Spanish because sometimes knowing what they did well in can help them reinforce what they are doing right like using a specific rule in grammar the can continue doing it or with pronunciation. Then with corrections sometimes that can help them see what they are doing wrong and then apply those corrections the next time they say a word or write something.

3. The way in which you can prime students to receive criticism of their work is start by changing the language and framing it as a "Glow/Grow". For Glow it can be something amazing that they did in their work and for "Grow" it is something they can improve on for next time. It is important to start off with glows because it helps students see the positives first instead of just focusing on the negatives.

Feedback plays an important part in Social Science because the students need to know if they have a complete understanding of the content. This also works for skills like writing and reading comprehension. The teachers feedback is important to help instill and grow the skills and understanding of the classes content.

Feedback in my content area of Spanish is extremely important because I will have students who are learning the language for the first time in their life. I will have to constantly evaluate them in order to see if they are grasping the language. Not only that, but for my students who are already Spanish speakers, they will also be evaluated on their reading and writing skills. My feedback will be important because it will ultimately help them improve in the content area.

I think that feedback should be based on helping the students build off their current skills on critical analysis, pattern recognition, reading and writing, but also research. We all come from different levels of skill, and its important for them to reach that potential as realistic as possible.

I think with criticism, it should be focused and detailed where it matters. It should never be a massive reason to lose points if the student doesn't have critical basic skills to write or do the work. However should there be an assignment where the student is obviously not trying or disinterested is when a 1-1 talk with the student should be done.

1. Quality feedback for me personally is constructive criticism. I appreciate honesty and openness about how my work could be better and where I can improve on.

2. For students to be open to receive criticism of their work it's important to create an environment of positive communication and growth mindsets.

1. I think feedback is important it provides the student areas where they can improve.

2. Quality feedback for me would include positive points as well as suggestions on how to get better in the areas that need improvement.

3. It is important for students to learn how to receive criticism to be ready for the real world.

1.Feedback in language acquisition is paramount to success. with feedback, you are able to understand what you excel at as well as what you require more work on. receiving feedback can help with grammatical errors, spelling errors, etc. but it is important to let the student know this so they do not become upset and understand that failure is the biggest step in improvement (Henry N)

Feedback plays a part in my content because it helps students see where they can grow in their language skills, reading skills, listening skills, and writing skills. The one thing I will make sure I don’t do is just give “simple” feedback. For example, if a student gets a D on their essay I won’t just write “67%”. I would give more feedback so the student knows what to work on or see where they had troubles in

3. In ASL it is important to gives students feedback because they may be doing the wrong hand shapes or palm orientation that would change the meaning of a sign. Giving a compliment sandwich would prime my students to receive criticism on their work. Giving them a compliment, then giving a correction, and then ending with a praise like "I am proud". I think this layering technique is a great way for students to feel encouraged to keep learning. Direct criticism can be hard for students to hear.

Feedback plays a great role in my content area. When I instruct the students, I need to know whether they are learning or not. Therefore, I ask questions to find out how much they understand.

What constitutes quality feedback is something that is specific, actionable and constructive for my students. Besides this, I feel that my students' feedback needs to be goal oriented to the learning objectives that I want them to hit on the lesson. For social science it would look like something like students having supporting claims with evidence/facts from primary/secondary sources

Quality Feedback

Is...

A) Generalized

Review Common Mistakes and Pitfalls w Class as a whole so students give themselves a pat on the back for what they got right and are less hard on themselves on areas of improvement.

B) Individualized/Peer

Students learn what they can improve on exactly what areas of their essay or writing. Can also learn to use their peers as a resource

C) Specific

Provide examples and show concrete guidelines.

D) Timely

Not too far from when they wrote it. So they recall their writing process and it is consistent an ongoing

Feedback plays a part in social science classrooms, since it gives me the opportunity to inform the students of how well they are understanding the content, rather than merely memorizing historical facts, dates, or definitions. If I am happy with my students' performance, I am also able to provide positive reinforcement to encourage it even further.

1. Feedback is essential. I want to know what students think about subjects and what they need to improve by themselves. To assist and help students, feedback should be used frequently.
