‘Feedback for Improvement’

Self-evaluation Process: ‘Feedback for Improvement’

What is first hand

evidence?

1. Pupils’ Books

2. Lesson observation – “trusted colleague”

3. Questionnaires

4. Data.

“Small steps properly managed can lead

to large gains”

Obtaining the Evidence

Pupils’ Books:• Do the pupils’ books include feedback for

improvement? • Does the feedback within the pupils’ books aid

understanding?

PRSD Lesson Observation:

• Does the lesson concentrate on ‘Feedback for improvement’ when appropriate?

• Are all pupils familiar with the concept of ‘feedback for improvement’ and use the feedback to improve their learning?

• What strengths emerge from the lesson when feedback for improvement is evident?

• What areas are there to develop within the lesson when using feedback for improvement?

PRSD - Use of Questionnaire

Departmental Questions / Discussions:• What do you understand by the term ‘feedback for

improvement’?• How often have you used ‘feedback for improvement’

within the classroom / homeworks etc?• What benefits have ‘feedback for improvement’

brought to your work in this subject?• Does ‘feedback for improvement’ always improve your

work in this subject?• If you could add any key points to the process of

‘feedback for improvement’ in this subject, what would they be?
