Evaluative feedback: involves a judgment by the teacher based
on implicit or explicit norms. promotes self-management and
independence. Most teacher feedback interactions are at
the evaluative end of the continuum.
Examples of evaluative feedback:
“That’s a good essay.”
“You’ve done well.”
Descriptive feedback:
is task- and outcome-oriented. focuses on identified learning outcomes and
makes specific reference to the student’s achievement.
An example of descriptive feedback:
“That’s a good essay because you have covered the main points we discussed at the beginning. Now … which points do you think you could expand on?”

Ed Issue Paper
Great content but… Proofread for meaning, sentence
structure, flow. Put all papers through a spell and
grammar check. Re-post as professional documents.
You have just been hired as the librarian for the Zahtzerflotz Middle School. Last year the ZMS library was destroyed by a flood. Now the facility is completely cleaned, restored and wired for wi-fi, but it is completely empty. The administration wants you to build a vibrant, integrated, collaborative library program. You have unlimited financial and administrative support to turn the Zahtzerflotz Middle School Library from Slumpy to SLMPY.
What will you do?
