Effective Feedback by Linda Laughlin https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback I Used To Think...... Now I Think ....... en-us 2018-01-24 04:49:21 UTC 2018-01-29 19:56:02 UTC hello@padlet.com I used to think..... https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225827747 I used to think that when a student got an answer right, that it was enough. Now after looking at the feedback from our books that I need to focus more on pinpointing exactly what is correct. 

Two things I will focus on when I go home is:
1. Using feedback for correct answers, not just incorrect. 
2. What the function of my feedback is, and how to make it more positive. 

]]> 2018-01-29 19:43:12 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225827747 I use to think that it was more important to give feedback to students who had wrong answers than those who had right answers. Now I think all students need feedback, even students who have correct answers. https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225827882
Action Steps-the two characteristics of effective feedback I am going to focus on:
1) Comparison. I am going to work on making sure that my feedback directly relates to the learning goal. I am going to make sure I am clear about the learning goals at the beginning of each activity. Instead of just giving stars when a student has a right answer I am going to give a comment to help them generalize what they did to other scenarios.
2) Amount. I am going to focus on increasing the amount of positive feedback I give students. I am going to increase the amount of feedback I give on each activity.]]> 2018-01-29 19:43:24 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225827882 I used to think I had to grade everything. https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828119 Now I know that learning is a process and students need to be given time to use the feedback to learn.

]]> 2018-01-29 19:43:48 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828119 I used to think feedback mattered more when delivered in a formal manner. Now I know that it ALL matters. evanormer https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828127 2018-01-29 19:43:49 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828127 I used to think... https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828194 I used to think correcting grammar was an absolute must. Now I think it is important to provide effective feedback based on the learning goal of the writing.

1. Create quality rubrics based on the learning objective of the writing.

2. Continuously refer to the learning objective as I provide feedback.]]> 2018-01-29 19:43:52 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828194 I used to think that any feedback was a good thing. Now I think that feedback needs to be specific, positive, and done in a timely manner. https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828220 2018-01-29 19:43:54 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828220 I used to think feedback would be soooooo easy! https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828246 Now I think I have a long way to go to create effective feedback that does what I want it to.

I am going to start using the red/yellow/green highlight on google docs as my first pass at giving feedback. With the proper pre-teaching on what they mean, and what should be done with them.

I am going to work harder at giving feedback without assessment score. This will allow students to make use of the feedback. Hopefully, this may also end the, I'm okay with that score.]]> 2018-01-29 19:43:56 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828246 I used to think that right answers were the end of the conversation. Now I ask why? https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828297 2018-01-29 19:44:01 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828297 I used to think that rich feedback was the norm for most teachers; now I know that many struggle. Next steps for me include sharing the resources with my peers--particularly the artifact review--and reading the textbook. https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828312 2018-01-29 19:44:04 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828312 I used to think that students were okay with simple praise as feedback. Now I think that even the ones who are "getting it" could and should get detailed feedback https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828463 2018-01-29 19:44:20 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828463 I used to think immediate feedback didn't matter but now I KNOW THAT IT DOES AND IT ONLY SEEMS TO BE COMMON SENSE.What was I thinking. I'm going to focus on the timing and focus characteristics of feedback when I GET BACK TO SCHOOL. I would like to fit in as much oral feedback in the class as possible and give the students more time to talk about learning not just assignments. I'm also, starting tomorrow going to start working on growth mindset by first referring to my 3rd graders as learners not students m_newman65 https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828487 2018-01-29 19:44:23 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828487 I used to think there was no real way to "codify" ways to give feedback that would allow rich, deepened learning, without lots of time spent by the teacher. https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828488 2018-01-29 19:44:23 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828488 jhedberg https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828560 I use to think that providing effective feedback would be too time consuming. Now I think that I can break it down into smaller chunks. I will set a goal for myself to provide feedback to my students on one math and one ELA assignments each week. I will also do more peer review activities. ]]> 2018-01-29 19:44:31 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828560 I used to think I was offering my grade 1/2 learners effective feedback. Now I think I have not provided the most effective feedback I could give my learners. https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828785 The first thing I want to do is to build culture in my 1/2 classroom where I give my students an opportunity to give peer feedback in the area of writing. I will use the simple process of using two colored sticky notes as we saw in the video. I currently utilize Authors Chair but see how I can easily incorporate what I learned to day in peer feedback. The second thing I would like to do is focus on giving timely effective feedback during math sessions. I would like to use technology, specifically IXL, to encourage students to take some ownership in their learning. This will give 
me an opportunity to meet with individuals and provide feedback.

]]> 2018-01-29 19:45:00 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828837 I use to think that providing feedback was very intensive and I was not confident to implement. Now I know I can take steps implementing prices of effective feedback and build my skills. I will be using the examples in the book to provide 1) timely feedback and 2) that is specific to the learning target. Baby steps! elibby https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828884 2018-01-29 19:45:05 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828884 I used to think human connection was important in teaching...now I know human connection is imperative to successful teaching and learning. https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828889 Action steps:
1. I will ask myself: Is the feedback you are giving specific to the learning goal?
2. I will give guidance but not do the work for the student - and give suggestions so that the student can take tangible next steps for improvement.]]> 2018-01-29 19:45:06 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225828889 I used to think that feedback was for fixing a problem or what was wrong, but now I think that it is very important to give quality feedback for success as well. https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225829058  
Action Steps.
1. I am going to use the Author's corner we saw in the video to get my students to provide feedback to my class.
2. I will work at providing appropriate feedback to all my students.

]]> 2018-01-29 19:45:19 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225829058 I used to think that feedback was important but, now I realize that giving feedback can be done in numerous and fun ways. Students really need to know what the teacher feels about their work and in a timely manner. https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225829251
Now I know that there can be more than one type of feedback to help different learning styles.  Providing different types can help the student(s) take constructive criticism in new and unfamiliar ways to them.

Action Steps:
* I would definitely try different ways of giving feedback as well as ask for student input for constructive criticism of peer work(s). I would also like to try using the template on pg. 108 for giving feedback.

It's helping them develop a positive life skill to keep their own learning going forward, and developing confidence and independence. https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225829501
Action steps: More accurate timing of feedback and valence. Always give a suggestion to improve.]]> 2018-01-29 19:46:03 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225829501 https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225829969 I used to think that providing feedback was complicated and impossible to reach each child.  Now I've thought of ways to incorporate meaningful feedback into my preexisting conferences.
Action Step
- Model peer and teacher conferencing to students and come up with sentence starters to develop a conversation.

]]> 2018-01-29 19:46:50 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225829969 Now I think the "Artifact Review" ideas allow thoughtful, concrete feedback to be developed quickly and efficiently and used as clear direction for student improvement. https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225830699 2018-01-29 19:48:00 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225830699 I used to think that feedback was just the opportunity to mark something right or wrong. https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225831089
Now I know that learning is dependent on useful feedback.  Not only when process answers are wrong but also when process and answers are right.  Feedback provides us with the opportunity to provide learners to strengthen skills based on what they have done.  

Two things I will focus on when I go home:

1.  Acknowledging what is right and why is right.
2. Using peer more for providing feedback to students.]]> 2018-01-29 19:48:32 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225831089 https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225831216 I used to think summative assessments were the end all be all. Now I think summative assessments have little value.

1. Give more effective feedback with formative assessments which allows students apply the feedback.
2. Reduce/eliminate summative assessments and replace with more formative assessments.]]> 2018-01-29 19:48:46 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225831216 I used to think https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225832642 I used to think that effective feedback was like 95% oral communication. Now I think that timely written feedback may be more helpful to my students to move their learning forward.
Action steps: 1. Discuss today's session with my peers. 2. Work on giving written feedback in a timely mannerr]]> 2018-01-29 19:51:16 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225832642 Action Step: https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225832999 1. I will be checking to see where in our PEPG system "effective feedback" fits so that I can provide teachers PD development to help match with growth plans. I feel like I now have enough information to help develop a PD plan on effective feedback for my staff.

2. Read the book
3. Share the info
4. Choose 2-3 Feedback characteristics on which to focus
5. Stick. To. My. Dang. Target. And let the other stuff go.]]> 2018-01-29 19:52:14 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/Feedback/wish/225833238
