2 Truths & 1 Lie
#EduDuctTape Question: How can teachers pull feedback into the classroom to avoid taking that work home?
- Issues with traditional feedback:
  - “Feedback tends to be done in isolation. Where, kids do work in isolation, they submit that work and then teachers take that home and they grade it or provide feedback on it in isolation and then they give it back to students who are left to process that feedback in isolation.”
  - Wait time between product & feedback
  - Minutia is intimidating to students
- “How are we designing lessons that free us from the front of the room?”
  - Use videos to explain something
  - Have students lead small group student-led discussions
- Real-time feedback
- Focus on very specific elements to give feedback rather than giving feedback on all elements all at once
  - What elements do you focus on and when?
  - You may start with a focus on foundational elements that are the same for all (or most) students, but later it’s likely differentiated by student
- John Hattie’s Feedback Approach - 3rd element: “where to next?”
  - Students add this declarative statement to their document
  - Catlin often does this as the teacher-led station in a station rotation
