FEEDBACK LOG for Formative Assessment

Fall 2019
The feedback you provide to students on your scoring guides or verbally is important and critical in helping students
progress in their learning. Feedback should ALWAYS provide them with information about their strengths and their
weaknesses. How you help them use it is also critical and includes concrete reminders, PLUS the learning
experience to use the feedback.

Students do not automatically use the feedback of what you write or tell them. You will need to have conversations
with them each day to help them reflect on what you shared with them from the day before (meta-cognition). You
can also think of concrete support that may help them to reflect on the feedback. (index card with a reminder, poster,
a string on their finger).

What you are doing in this clinical practice, is what you will be doing the rest of your career. It should become part
of your daily practice and be included in your unit week, though not recorded.

feedback. The rubric was helpful in
providing the child with explicit feedback
on the math lesson. I reviewed the rubric
verbally with the child to explain what he
needs to work on for telling time by five
minutes. I wrote that the student needs more
practice. I explained that the student needs
to review which hand is which and the
placement of the hour hand. I wrote that the
student did well drawing the different sized
hands.

Student #2: The rubric was helpful to this

student to provide detailed feedback on
their progress. I wrote that the student did
very well with telling time to the nearest
five minutes, but to pay close attention to
the placement of the hour hand as the
minutes have increased.

Student #1: The child was provided with

written feedback that was verbally
explained to the student. This helped the
student understand his understanding of the
lesson and to examine what he still needs to
work on. I wrote that the student is starting
to understand character response by using
the think, feel, do, say anchor chart to
determine character response, but needs to
be more detailed in his answers. The student
was asked to explain why the character felt
a certain way after the major event.

Student #2: The child was provided with

written feedback. This student can
understand written feedback well, therefore
I did not have to meet individually with her.
I wrote that the student is doing great with
character response by identifying what the
character does, thinks, feels, or says, but to
pay closer attention which events are major
to a story.
