Which Strategies Will Provide Evidence of Student Learning?
Providing FeedbackProviding Recognition
Strategy
• Once you and your students have clear learning targets, the next step is to determined if the students have learn them by selecting the means of obtaining evidence of
learning and giving feedback.
Feedback
• Some researchers believe that providing feedback is the most powerful thing that a classroom teacher can do to enhance achievement.
• Effective feedback results in a 32 percentile gain.
Effective Feedback
Feedback should be corrective.Provide students with an explanation of what
they are doing is accurate or not accurate. Asking students to keep working on a task until
they succeed enhances achievement even more.
Just telling students answers are right or wrong drops achievement by 3 percentile points.
Effective Feedback
Feedback should be timely.Timing of feedback is critical to improving
achievement.Feedback given immediately is best.The more delay in feedback the less
improvement on achievement.
Effective Feedback
Feedback should be specific.Feedback should be given on exactly what the
student knows or needs to improve.Just getting a score or how the score stands in
relationship to other student scores is not effective.
Rubrics is a powerful tool.
Effective Feedback
Students can provide some of their own feedback.
Self-evaluation has a desirable effect.
Effective Feedback
Technology is especially effective in providing feedback.
Providing Recognition
Personalizing RecognitionMake recognition as personal as possible.Reward works if based on the attainment of a
performance standard. (not just doing an activity but successful completion)
Providing recognition for attainment of a goal not only enhances achievement but stimulates motivation.
Providing Recognition
Pause, Prompt, and PraisePause: Teacher stops student during task and
discuss.Prompt: Teacher provides suggestionsPraise: Teacher praises students if performance
improves.
Providing Recognition
• Abstract/verbal recognition is most effective. It should be specific and to individual students.
• Concrete/tangible rewards are valuable and have their place in the classroom. It should be for attaining a goal and not simply for completing an activity.
Providing Recognition
Technology can expand ways to provide recognition.
