Techniques to use before you provide any feedback…• They self assess• They find “faults and fix”• They peer assess• They provide critique• You return sub-standard work

“Feedback should be more work for the recipient than

the donor”

They ask question / for help

You give verbal feedback

They summarise your feedback

You stamp work

They complete the improvement

…be sure to use the right stamper!

Dot round

• Assign students independent work in class• Circulate and observe their work• If their work is wrong, put a dot on the

paper• Very subtle, not a permanent “wrong” mark• Just a reminder that something needs

checking• That’s ALL you do/say• The dot reminds students, subtly, to find

their own mistakes• Encourages self-reflection and self-

correction• “Who got a dot and found it?”

Can you check this for me?

Mark a specific part only

Identified by student e.g. by highlighting

Content not process

Increased likelihood of response

Feedback KeysCreate a generic marking key and give students a copy to stick in their books, e.g.

TV Too vague, needs to be more specific, expand on your ideas more.I like this. You’ve dealt with this part extremely well.

Tech You need to add more technical vocabulary and specific terminology.

SpaG Problem with spelling, punctuation, grammar.

CRUCIALLY: Students have to explain WHY they were given the code

Using coloursPunctuation or grammarSomething positiveA specific target for next timeA question the student has to answerLook at the success criteria to see what you’ve missedSpelling

…can highlight work, draw boxes round, write feedback in…etc.

Marking with iconsSkim / scan books

Decide key feedback points

Allocate an icon to each

Record only icon(s) in books

Share meanings in lesson

They write out

They complete improvements

Marking with icons

M1 I need to draw the 3 letter shapes and mark the positions of the pairs of angles on each shapeM2 I need to add a numbered angle to each letter shape and describe how I would use it to work out the other angle in the pairM3 I need to add a description next to each diagram of how I could use one known angle to find another

Traffic light feedback

Objective mastered

Tackled, not mastered

MisunderstoodConfused

Not got it yet

Display 3 questions on the board at the start of next lesson to “do now”

plasters

A bit of fun / novelty value when you find yourself writing the same comments over and over againe.g.
