FEEDBACK SPIRALS IN YOUR LIFE

Reflect on a time in your life when rich data from assessment energized a spiral for your continuous learning. Share it with others.

ASSESSMENT DATA SHOULD PROVIDE FEEDBACK:

Precise, timely & frequent. Useful to the teacher in making instructional decisions. Useful to the learner to improve performance.

Listening with Empathy and Understanding

“Listening before prejudging someone’s contribution makes sense. Being patient helps. I was surprised at the great ideas and how much everyone added.”

Sir Francis Drake High School, San Anselmo, California

JOURNAL ENTRIESMetacognition:“I sometimes have to talk to myself and tell myself to work harder, or to stop slacking.”

“They give us time to think about everything—all of our actions and work and that is something that really helps. Not many kids get that; it’s so neat.”

Sir Francis Drake High School, San Anselmo, California

JOURNAL ENTRIESPersistence:

“In the last project when I couldn’t have been more stressed. I wanted to quit and walk away, but no matter how much I wanted to give up because I had no idea what I was doing or how it was going to be done, no matter how much I wanted to throw the Makita because it wasn’t working, no matter how much responsibility I was forced to take on I stuck with it until the end always knowing (hoping) it would turn out great.”

RUBRICS

ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES:

STUDENT DEVELOPED RUBRIC FOR CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR4 Don't talk. Sits on chair and lissens to

teacher. Works hard. Good.3 Talks a little. Sits on chair and mostly

lissens to teacher. Works. Pretty good.2 Talks a lot. Sits on knees and maybe

lissens. Works a little bit. Bad.1 They talk loud and never lissens. Walk all

around. Don't write a thang. Bad to the bone!

SAMPLE RUBRIC FOR PERSISTING

EXPERT:Stays on task no matter how diff icult it isto find the answers to solutions.Evaluates the use of a variety ofstrategies to solve the problem. Searchesfor and draws on wide range of resources.

PRACTITIONER:Stays on task when trying to find answersor solutions to problems. Draws onavailable resources

APPRENTICE:Tries to complete tasks when the answersor solutions are not readily available, butgives up when task is too difficult. Getsoff task easily. Draws on limited range ofresources.

NOVICE:Gives up easily and quickly on diff iculttasks. I s unaware of resources.
