Why Questions are Important….
Why are questions important?
Teachers ask as many as 300 to 400 questions a day.
Questions guide students’ thinking and
determine how students will process materials presented to them.
Questions are the single, most influential
teaching activity.

What Does the Research Say….
What Does the Research Say?
• Discussion – 32 classroom observations – 611 questions asked
• 80% of the questions closed-ended questions requiring little student thought or input (450/611)
• 11% asked students to analyze content/topic (64/611) • 6% required students to synthesize information and generate
new ideas (36/611) • 3% asked students to evaluate the topic or idea (21)
– Important Note—These teachers were using a “Standards-Based Curriculum” and they knew they were going to be observed. They were asked to teach an inquiry-based lesson.

What is Feedback?
“Feedback is an objective description of a student’s performance intended to guide future performance. Unlike evaluation, which judges performance, feedback is the process of helping our students assess their performance, identify areas where they are right on target and provide them tips on what they can do in the future to improve in areas that need correcting.”
~ W. Fred Miser
What is Feedback?
“Feedback is not about praise or blame, approval or disapproval. That’s what evaluation is – placing value. Feedback is value-neutral. It describes what you did and did not do.”
~ Grant Wiggins
4 Guiding Questions to consider:
Where is the student going? Where is the student now?
How do we close the gap?
How do we know when they get there?
Feedback Essentials
Goal-referenced
Tangible and transparent
Actionable
User-friendly
Timely
Ongoing
Consistent
"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
Feedback vs. Advice
• You need more examples in your report. • You might want to use a lighter baseball bat. • You should have included some Essential
Questions in your unit plan.
Feedback vs. Evaluation and Grades
• Good work! • This is a weak paper. • You got a C on your presentation. • I’m so pleased by your poster.

How to Make Feedback More Effective
Three Levels of Fedback
Tips About What Works
What Doesn’t work
How to Make Feedback More Effective
• Clarify the Goal • Ensure That
Students Understand the Feedback
• Seek Feedback from Students
The 3 Levels of Feedback
• Task Feedback • Process Feedback • Self-Regulation
Feedback
Some Tips About What Works
• Disconfirmation – “learning from your mistakes”
• Formative Assessment • Instruction First
What Doesn’t Work
• Praise • Peer Feedback
“must be modeled and taught otherwise it is not successful”
Attaining Excellence
“Students must have routine access to the criteria and standards for the task they need to master; they must have feedback in their attempts to master those tasks; and they must have opportunities to use the feedback to revise work and resubmit it for evaluation against the standard. Excellence is attained by such cycles of model-practice-perform-feedback-perform.”
~ Grant Wiggins
What does this look like?
“Miss Jones, you kept writing this same word on my English papers all year, and I still don’t know what it means.” “What’s the word?” she asked. “Vag-oo,” he said.
