ABOUT EFFECTIVE FEEDBACKWHAT WE KNOW
#vlconf2014
"The effects of feedback depend on the nature of the feedback. Feedback can be the information that drives the process or the stumbling block that derails the process." ~ Susan Brookhart
Evaluative Feedback• Tells learners how they
compare to others• Provides a
judgment summarizing the quality of the learning
• Is a direct result of summative assessment
Descriptive Feedback• Provides specific
information in the form of written comments or conversations
• Helps the learner understand what he or she needs to do to improve
• Is a crucial part of formative assessment
Achievement Feedback
• Tells the student what was done well
• Praises the work or process, not the student
Intervention Feedback• Tells the student what
needs improving
• Gives enough information so the student knows what to do next
Feedback Levels
Three QuestionsWhere am I going?How am I going?Where to next?
• Just as a thermostat adjusts a room temperature, effective feedback helps maintain a supportive environment for learning.
• ~ Dylan Wiliam
