Enhancing the Impact of Feedback to Teachers
BackgroundAuthors interviewed teachers, some successful and some struggling, and identified common concerns:• Infrequent visits are unnerving• Uncertain expectations create anxiety• Waiting is difficult• Sense of Disempowerment• Lack of Helpful Information
DirectionsRead each of the concerns. As a table, suggest some strategies you could employ to diffuse the concern.

Common Formative Assessmen
ts
Common Interim
Assessments
Student Learning
Objectives
External Assessmen
ts
ExamplesWorksheets, classroom response, whiteboards, exit tickets, conferences, student self-assessment
Chapter/unit tests, final projects
Common tasks and prompts assessed with rubric, quizzes
Performances, tests, or writing prompts given every 6-8 weeks
Growth measures designed for use with the APPR growth and local achievement
3-8 tests, Regents exams, SAT, AP
FormatVery formative; can be diagnostic if used prior to instruction
Mostly summative Formative Formative and summative Summative Very summative
Responsibility Classroom teachers Classroom teachers
Grade level/discipline teams of teachers working together. District teams of representative teachers may also look at the data
Teachers and lead evaluators/principals
An external group of “experts”
PurposeProvides immediate feedback and guides instructional decisions
Provision of gradesTo assess student learning in order to make instructional decisions. Also serves to assess curriculum, instruction, and pacing.
Conversion to scores for use in teacher and principal evaluation
Accountability and placement
AssessmentTables work as groups of four for this activity.1. Each person (of four) picks one of the
articles2. Read your own article (do 3-2-1)3. Like people meet to discuss and agree on
the most important things in the article4. Go back to original group and share
AssessmentHow could you use an activity like this in your school?

Back to AssessmentNow that you looked at some assessment, talk about assessments, in general, and what they tell you at your table.
What else would you want to see?
What questions do you have for the teacher?
Back to AssessmentThink about your assessment conversations. Ask yourself:
Are they about common formative assessment? About making instructional decisions based on formative assessment?
Or are they about the administration, scoring, and results of state tests and exams?

Growth Producing Feedback
Growth Producing FeedbackPage 1: Talk about what resonates more (or less) for you.
Page 2: Look at the continuum. At your table, talk about each “C” one by one. After each, individually, jot down your recollection of an recent experience in which you acted that way.
Page 3: Individually, list your staff members names in the column that reflects how you most typically interact with each.
Page 4: As a group, look the page over, again talking about what resonates more (or less) for you.
Growth Producing FeedbackAt your table, talk about the feedback you would give our teacher after her lesson.
Talk about which “C” is the approach you would take with her.
