Component 3d Providing Feedback to Students

The value of feedback is maximized if students use it in

their learning. In most cases, such student use of feedback

requires planning by the teacher.Page 51 Pilot Book

Proficient Distinguished

Feedback is consistently high

quality. Provision is made for

students to use feedback in

their learning.

Feedback is consistently high

quality. Students regularly use

feedback to enhance their

learning experiences.

Writing Review

Analysis

Final Analysis

The summarized results are analyzed and the process

is repeated. Now the writing is known and the rubrics

are known.

Chris summarizes and averages all scores and

comments and provides this to the authors.

All students (as well as Chris) read everyone’s writing

and grade the writing with the AP rubric.

Writing

Students (and teacher Chris Quick) write a “closed

reading analysis” of an essay or writing.

Teacher proactively

communicates with parents

about students’ progress on a

regular basis and is available as

needed to respond to parent

concerns.

Teacher provides information

to parents frequently on both

positive and negative aspects

of student progress. Response

to parent concerns is handled

with great sensitivity.

“Pat Pazerunas is the Graba

Geek of the Week! Pat very bravely

and generously shared with us about

his relative with Down's Syndrome

when we were discussing the

inheritance of Down's as well as the

effects of Down's Syndrome on

individuals who inherit it.”

“He also made us aware that

March 21st is World Down's

Syndrome Day. This date is chosen

because individuals with Down's

Syndrome have 3 copies of the 21st

chromosome (3-21).”

“Graba Geek of the Week”

One Parent’s Response…

“Thanks for the weekly updates. It’s a great

treat for us to be able to peek into our kid’s

daily activities. It’s getting more and more

difficult to get this kind of detailed

information directly from them at their age.

After all, who would want to be chatting

with their parents about what they did in

school while they can be text messaging

their friends right? :-)”

Another parent…

“I am so amazed to see the resources and tools available for this generation to study. I always tell Rishi that you are all very lucky, you have everything to get all A’s, but you just need to work on your willingness to make use of the tools to their fullest extent.”
