Feedback is so important to
improving student achievement. I used one of my students old journals to
demonstrate how I would give authentic feedback. I usually have students
journal at the end of the day so they can reflect on their learning. In an
online environment, they could have the choice to journal at anytime. In my
feedback, I customized the response to the learner encouraging him to push himself
and delve deeper. I tried to concentrate on getting this student to add more
critical thinking into his thought process. I also used previous data, to
encourage him in areas that he needed to grow. In addition, I tried to promote
continuous learning. Offering this feedback, allows him to use the knowledge to
meet and exceed class expectations.
I retyped some of the
responses since the photo was a little blurry.
1.
If you were a
soldier at Valley Forge, would you stay or go home? Why?
Student
response: I would stay because I will help my country move forth and also I
would be remembered but not like a traitor.
Teacher
Feedback: Interesting ideas! Expand on your thinking. How would staying help
your country? What would you like to be remembered as and why?
2.
How would the
United States of America be different if Lewis and Clark had never gone on
their expedition? Why?
Student
Response: It would have been different because then they wouldn’t have know
about the west side of the United States.
Teacher
feedback: Explaining how this would change the United states would make your
answer more complete. For example: We would have less room to expand, so we may
have close our borders to immigration. Would we a better country? What
resources would we not have?
