Feedback or Assessment for learning (ES 0.81)

This family of formative assessment strategies use the PAR model of teaching where the learner's constructs are improved towards clear learning goals through effective feedback.

P - presentation of information in a way that is inclusive and challenging
A - application of what was presented in the form of a product or a process, creating an opportunity for feedback
R - review; the act of creating a product or process gives feedback to the learner, teacher, and peers. Feedback is then used to improve learners' constructs through medals and a new mission towards a successful learning outcome (the goal).

Hattie - feedback has more impact on learning than any other general factor but it requires an activity and a product.

  1. Now I understand why this works, I notice I'm more willing to take risks and try things out. Used eboard today, in a more creative way, to summarize student's research and point them in the right direction. Worked well, but need to plan more effective outcomes for lesson.
